Intel starts preaching for HTML5 conversions

Intel has instructed its teams of monks, missionaries and evangelists to get to work and encourage a wider take up of HTML5.

Intel wants people to move to HMTL5 post haste as the code can do a lot more than just web development and has spin offs for future hardware kit.  It will start putting a foot in the door of developer's houses from the next Intel Developer Forum next week.

Intel's Michael Richmond, senior architect in the company's Open Source Technology Centre, told InfoWorld that HTML 5 will mean software which can do so much more for the web. He particularly liked the fact that HTML5 software can automatically adapt to different screen sizes, offering more information to the user when a bigger screen is detected.
