No word of whether activating a contentEditable now opens the keyboard. That'd be a big step for lots of content-focused web apps

Totally agree and that's the one thing I was scanning through the page looking for.

Quora's fantastic native editor is a contentEditable div and so the iPhone version has to do things completely differently which annoys me as a user.

It's the future of all editing and the only good present of rich text editing on the web.

On iPad2 it's supported. Someone can try it on an iPhone?

Man I hope the datetime picker allows masks/filters. I'd like to limit minutes to say, every half an hour.

Give me a sample URI and I'll check it for you. Or wait until I have the time to write up a naive example.

Try http://aloha-editor.org/

Any word on adequate html5/javascript sound support; e.g., does the demo at http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/demo/chris... work better than iOS4 (where the lag is huge)?

I'm very disappointed that you still can't upload files in Mobile Safari. I "get" the whole no filesystem thing, but come on at least show the photo/video picker. Little impossibilities like this make mobile web apps perpetually less useful than native apps, and that sucks.

Use a different browser. iCab Mobile supports uploading, downloading, and side-loading to DropBox or iDisk. The only time I use Safari is when I clock a link in Mail or Twitter or some other client; otherwise, I use iCab almost exclusively.

Would love to hear if this is supported as well. Lack of content editable is a big pain...
