The blackberry 6 ships with Webkit as the default browser. I used jQuery, jQTouch, Json, XSLT, Canvas, Web storage, Sqlite, etc. and all worked as expected. They even support Html5 worker! They don’t support connection awareness yet though
The great thing developers don’t know and that RIM has not marketed enough is the “Blackberry widgets” technology. Beginning from Blackberry 5, this technology allows web developers to build native apps using Javascript/CSS/Html. They event allow cross domain scripting provided that you declare a white list of allowed domains in you Blackberry widgets project.
thanks RIM

[...] Other than that, companies behind mobile phones, such as Apple, will have lesser control over the applications that are made available to their phone users.

Great post Jason, I really enjoyed reading through your arguments.
I share your opinion that mobiles are the future developing hot spot and therefore html5 has a big demand.

However, as read on quirksmode, the thing which gives me the most headaches is the question about all the phones who aren’t html5 capable.
Browser updating isn’t any fun on a smart phone and I can’t imagine how to upgrade a typical phone with browser.

The big goal with html5 may also be a generation of browsers which do really enduserfriendly featureupdates on all platforms, especially on mobiles.

It’s weird (to say the least) that Google is actively promoting html5, while html5-native geolocation, localstorage, localdb and appcache are not available in the android browser (tested on android 1.5 with the browser based on AppleWebKit/528.5+). Guess they expect developers to code for both html5 and gears (which offers similar functionality with a different api)?

Same remark for Palm; their MOJO-framework indeed uses (and extends) html5, but these functionalities are not available in the WebOS browser for websites to use (tested on WebOS 1.0 with browser based on applewebkit 525.27.1 in the SDK emulator). And Palm doesn’t have gears as a fallback, so no advanced web-apps for the Pré at all I guess?

Great post Jason. Sounds like you just might be comfortable enough talking about it to give a preso on mobile HTML5 at the next meetup of new Portland group dedicated to the topic?
