Microsoft is launching a contest to encourage developers to create native HTML5 content that doesnt require browser plug-ins.
This kind of native HTML5 content is key to Microsoft and other phone and tablet makers going forward. As Ive blogged previously, IE 9 is a key pillar of Microsofts tablet/slate push. And Microsoft is looking for native HTML5 apps, not ones powered by plug-ins like Silverlight and Flash or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) ones that are tied to the Windows client OS to populate its app store(s) in the future.
