What to know what HTML5 is capable of?
Go to the link on Apple's website for a showcase demo showing how it can be used for advanced media on the web, including media(audio,video,pictures), typography and transitional effects.
Its opening also takes a clear shot at Adobe's assertions that Flash is a standard, pointing out that a plugin by definition can't be a standard feature.

So how is requiring Safari to view web content any different than forcing me to install a plugin? I've done everything in my power to avoid Safari like the plague after how clunky it was on my Mini and Apple's telling me their proprietary browser is better than a similarly proprietary plugin?
If I'm not mistaken Chrome or Firefox (non video) should be perfectly adequate for HTML5. -
In the last testing IE9 beta, kicked every other browser in HTML5 compatibility.

Apple is just trying to push Safari for these tests. For other content it doesn't matter. -
nothing here we didn't already know javascript could do.

I just tried using User Agent on Firefox to masquerade iPhone 3.0. It gets me past the simple filter but doesn't show the good stuff properly...

I think they would do better to show how a site like Hulu could go HTML5.
