This video shows how appMobi's DirectCanvas acceleration technology increases the rendering speed of HTML5 games by as much as 5X. HTML5 WebApps and Native apps written using appMobi can use this tech to produce amazing high performance games, all cross-platform and written in HTML5 and JavaScript
This can help the infant HTML5 community tremendously, enticing more people to develop for HTML5 games, but no, it had to be closed source...something like this would cause people to look at HTML5 games seriously for once, with developers and players...but no.

Honestly thought this looked amazing, until you said "DirectCanvas is only available to appMobi developers"
If the tech is worth sharing, open source it so that everyone can benefit - if you don't, I'm pretty confident that a) 'DirectCanvas' won't gain any traction, and b) somebody will realise the same performance gains in a slightly different way, open source their efforts, and totally blow DirectCanvas's popularity out of the water..
