With the release of the new Windows tablet this will be even more the case. The debate at Media Futures about the device of the future was interesting – but for now, it seems as if platform agnostic (or say a solution such as Adobe Air, which can then be wrapped in native code – says she working for YUDU Media) is the best option.

I completely agree, especially in educational publishing rental models need to be platform agnostic or at least on as many of the target audiences platforms as possible. I have to highlight our own hypocrisy here though as Bardowl is only available on iOS devices right now but we are working hard. 

A technical word of warning though HTML5 is not perfect yet, for example with audio streaming its a tougher challenge to ensure security (DRM) and the ability to securely store large amounts of audio (and I guess text) offline – but as a ‘standard’ its developing fast.
