    Nettuts+ has released a quick tip (with source code) on HTML5 audio, with an easy way to add it and make it start playing with jQuery.

    As I said at the start of this post, I don’t see this as an us and them, Open Web and Flash. I do see HTML5 plugging the areas that have been held up by Flash for the first decade of this century, and there are other areas that HTML5 supports that Flash doesn’t - but Flash could even make use of, such as Offline Applications.”

    Google Voice is delivered as an HTML5 web app and ReadWriteWeb asks: is it good enough?

    If you’ve wondered why there haven’t been many Gears releases or posts on the Gears blog lately, it’s because we’ve shifted our effort towards bringing all of the Gears capabilities into web standards like HTML5.”

    SublimeVideo, a beautiful HTML5 video player from Jilion, now supports Gecko/Firefox. Note that the WebKit implementation is still a bit more functional, though the team expects the two to be identical when Firefox 3.7 is released.

    Implementing HTML5 Video on the iPhone

    Jonathan Stark outlines some quick notes about implementing HTML5 video on the iPhone:

    • Poster image is only displayed until the video is loaded.
    • True/false attributes do not require values.
    • Video can be played (and heard) even when not visible.
      i.e. video { display: none }
    • The autoplay attribute is ignored on iPhone.
      i.e. will not autoplay no matter what
    • The controls attribute is ignored on iPhone.
      i.e. controls are visible no matter what
    • The remote file is downloaded whether or not the user clicks play.
    • You can interact with the DOM while iPhone video player is open.
    • You can make a video autoplay on iPhone by navigating directly to the video url. However, this is useless within the context of an Ajax app because it spawns a browser window.
