The second goes hand-in-hand with the first -- namely, the notion that hardware vendors will stop innovating new features to be tapped. In essence, HTML5 is too slow to catch up with functionalities that consumers expect of their mobile devices, and simply can't catch up with the rate of hardware innovation."
