[MeeGo-dev] WRT(s) and html5 in MeeGo?

[Robin Jewsbury]

Can I make a point from an external developer about HTML5 support.  Whilst 
it's interesting that firefox does support many HTML5 features, it is not 
very useful to an external developer unless firefox is pre-installed and the 
default browser.  So, can I request that MeeGo's default browser supports 
HTML5 please.  You need to complete with those other people who do support 
HTML5 better than even firefox does; please consider this, its very 
important to me and many other external developers.

Thanks

Robin

>>

>>
>> 2. Which WRT's should/will be included in MeeGo?

>> Looking forward to the responses and in the future, some nice projects
