I'll address each quoted piece in order... You may want to do some fact checking because MOST of what I said has been spot on...
#1 yes, I admitted to being wrong on the Gemini
#2 I was RIGHT, HTML5 is STILL not a standard .. far far from it, so thank you. I stand by the fact that I can do more on my phone or my Win7 tablet than you can on an iPad simply by the fact that they ignore FLASH and the "magic bullet" of HTML5 is still not here yet.
#3 Again I was right, Android 2.2 came out and the early Tablets followed soon after... they sucked.. and they were still better than iPads because they actually worked. MISQuote sales all you want...(it's been 15 million iPads sold)but back then I wasn't predicting market share. I was talking functionality
#4 I'll admit I was wrong here... for now.. I still think web standards is going to be the way to go and "apps" aren't the long term solution... I was dead wrong on the time frame.
#5 Again I was right... nothing I said in that post was wrong.. WebM IS YouTube's video standard now.. they haven't turned off h.264... but they are moving more that way and still could turn it off completely if they wanted to. The bankruptcy part was a long long long term prediction if Jobs and Apple don't adapt to the market and instead stubbornly try to dictate.
#6 Again I was correct... tons of sites STOPPED converting to h.264 based html5 video because they are waiting for a standard now that WebM is out there... Google even dropped h.264 support from Chrome... the biggest hurdle right now is waiting for the hardware vendors to catch up on optimization.
Ok so let's recap...
I make a prediction that the Gemini tablet would be out in a few months...so did EVERYONE by the way... and I was wrong..
I already admitted that.
I also dogged on the app model and I was wrong on it's longevity.. I still hate the model but it's gonna take awhile to get rid of it unfortunately. So score 2 wrong predictions.
Pretty much everything else was right... and that's not even counting a multitude of posts on the Flash vs HTML5 debate where I was right as well.
