Most apps to be considered financial failures by 2018

https://www.siliconrepublic.com/digital-life/item/35358-most-apps-to-be-considered

Fewer than 1pc of consumer apps will be considered financial successesby their developers, technology analysts at Gartner predicted in areport released today.

While this sentiment does ring true, I had to laugh at the closing paragraph:

Future developments are also seen in the continuing development of HTML5, which Dulaney predicted will change the smartphone market froma restricted one operating system-only ability to a multi-platformmodel.

HTML5 has been "almost there" for several years now, so you'll have to forgive my skepticism. It's in danger of becoming the new "year of linux on the desktop".
