- What does HTML5 support?
- It provides the latest support for CSS3 (new look and feel features), OGA (audio), VGA (video)
- Why is HTML5 important?
- It's the future of the web - where interactions don't need plug-ins
- Current status
- None of the Computer or SmartPhone browsers supports ALL of HTML5. Some support little pieces of HTML5
Android supports some HTML5 CSS3
