You should try it on mobile.

Well, I am not a designer so it took me while to get right colors, background, text sizes, layout etc. You can see my profile here. (http://premii.com).

Initial app took one Sunday. It worked on android browser and iOS. If I only had to make it work for iOS, it would ve been easy, but chrome on android took as much time as the whole app. Later found that there was a bug in chrome. They just fixed it like 2-3 weeks before.

It worked on WP8-IE10 without any special code. I didn't had WP, so I asked reddit/r/windowsphone guys and they told me it works great. Couple of redditors reported minor issues which I fixed.

I am not saying this is easy to do, and I will never advise anyone to user HTML5 if they have CPU intensive task and super complex animation/interaction. However HTML5 is the only platform that can help you develop simple app that works on all 4 mobile platforms (iOS, Android, WP8 and mobile browsers).
