Apple didn't invent HTML5.

ya no how hard it is to make ios applicationS?

Looks cool! If only someone could actually make it. I'd post this in Suggestions, but it'll almost certainly be rejected because of the stickies… Maybe a 3rd party could develop it?

I heard they did invent it. From what I heard, they designed it for the purpose of working smoothly on their tablets and phones.

Depends on how complex it is. You need good knowledge of graphics, ObjC/Swift, and I think HTML/CSS. Anyways, they already have an HTML version in the works, and there are similar code apps out there like ScratchJr, Hopscotch, and JS/Python interpreters.

Huh? That's kinda vague. HTML isn't really a language, the WWWC made it (so not really), and not all internet areas use HTML.

Pretty sure they didn't invent it. They did restrict Flash because Steve Jobs hates Adobe it “doesn't work well with mobile” (which I guess is true, though I've managed to have Flash on iPad with an app. As they even had a mousepad, biggest problem was the app not working well), and encourage use of HTML5. So yeah, they wouldn't remove HTML5, but they didn't invent it.
Edit: Oh, they did seem to have invented a part of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_element

Hey! We're working on Scratch for iOS. It's not clear when it'll be done tho. We have a somewhat working alpha version.

Are you talking about the HTML5 editor? Because if so, I haven't heard any updates on how close we are to having a completed version. Speaking of which, how close are we to having a completed version?

The ST are making a HTML5 version for mobile devices, but with no development in over half a year, it's better to modify it or pixie.

You can find some under advanced topics, but you'll need a jailbroken phone.
