Neat idea, very poor implementation. If you try to view the examples in Google Chrome, you'll get a notice that you have to download Safari (http://skitch.com/bradgessler/dgw7p/apple-html5)

This sets a very poor example for Apple supporting standards.

Has this changed or is it only applicable to desktop? (Works fine from nexus one)

You are either for us or against us.

* Apple might be nudging people to use Safari as their main browser.

* Apple might have limited to Safari to keep things simple--to be absolutely sure their demo would work 100%.

* I agree that it sucks that their demos are only viewable w/ Safari. But there are plenty of HTML5 demos out there for us :)

If you spoof Chrome's user agent (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=64e4...) it lets you in. Most of the effects work, but video and VR don't.

It seems like all the samples are targeted at the creative ad bureaus, and the goal is to educate them that HTML5 has all the features they need for their creative sites.

First the book publishers, now the ad agencies. The creative sector has really been in SteveJ's focus for the past half year.

Since both chrome and safari use webkit to render - chrome should work too shouldn't it?

Granted - Apple's definition of open is "you should only use Apple products".
