Abstract
So far, we have only looked at desktop browsers, however, one of the really great aspects of HTML5 is how well it is supported on a wide variety of devices including mobile phone, tablets, and TVs. In fact, the number of HTML5 devices is expected to exceed 1 Billion by 2013 (see the article at www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=pressreleaseviewer&a0=5145). As of this writing, the Opera Mobile and Firefox Mobile platforms lead the pack with 369 and 325 points, respectively, as reported by Html5Test.com. When Blackberry 10 releases, it is expected to receive a whopping 447 points out of a possible 500.
