For instance, there is a standard for passing GPS information from the hardware GPS in a mobile device to a web-based app via HTML5. There is no particular reason that other information like this couldn't be passed...although there are speed issues/latency/lag to worry about.

Insofar as mobile devices have these capacities adhering to the specific device, these feeds of data (acceleration, GPS, whatever) being generated on-board, how much can HTML5 capture that vs. just pushing out content? I can see how having a platform-independent way to do fun multimedia stuff is preferable to redevelopment for every platform, but I don't think it can *replace* apps unless it can handle, not just interactivity between user and content, but interactivity between site and device. Can something like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcLiE8o3Ef8" rel="nofollow">Earth Dragon</a> (disclosure: written by an elementary school classmate) be implemented in HTML5?(As for Google...I can see that as a statement about technology...but I can also see that as a statement that they have their own mobile device, they can build the hardware to play however they like with HTML5, and so it's no skin off their back to go in an HTML5 direction, and anyway lets them leverage their Godhood of the Web...)
