HTML5 Will enable developers to use a common code base to run apps for
web browsers, iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms.

Major publishers are experimenting with HTML5.

 . . .   the technology will make it possible to write Web applications,
accessed with a browser, that are as visually rich and lively as the
so-called native applications that are now designed to run on a specific
device, like an iPad

The Web browsing software that is needed to bring HTML5 to life has
recently arrived. Last week, Mozilla
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/m/moz
illa_foundation/index.html?inline=nyt-org> , the maker of Firefox,
released the newest version of its browser, showing off its support for
HTML5. A week earlier, Microsoft
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/microsoft_corpora
tion/index.html?inline=nyt-org>  brought out its new Internet Explorer
tuned to run HTML5. The Safari brower from Apple, meanwhile, also
supports the new technology, and the company has particularly embraced
HTML5's video-playing feature as an alternative to Adobe's Flash player.
And the Chrome browser team from Google has long been a leader in HTML5
development.  . . . .  Most major publishers are experimenting with
HTML5 today. (The New York Times version, using the new technology, is
