Hi all,

I was wondering whether anybody has tried any of the HTML5 'apps' available via the Open App Market? If so, are there any that you would particularly recommend?

For those not familiar, these are apps written in HTML which can be run on an iDevice without the need to jailbreak.

I've only tried a couple so far, but have been particularly impressed by the Hahlo Twitter app (although it has a few accessibility issues, most notably on the settings page).

There's an article on the Open App Market here: www.techdirt.com/blog/wireless/articles/20100730/00083610420.shtml

Here is a link to the Open App Market itself: http://openappmkt.com

The Open App Market app that you use on your iDevice to browse and install apps has some serious accessibility issues, but if you browse by category you can just about use it.
