What HTML5 can do -- cool site
Gwen7:
won't even load in safari on my cubical-neighbor's iphone.
little wheel just keeps spinning round and round...
which is funny considering apple is supposedly so big on html5 and so down on flash. :-))

Doesn't work for me at all. Tried it in Firefox and in Chrome. I enter my address, it loads, I click Play Film, and nothing happens. HTML 5 is awesome! :Thmbsup: ... :( -cthorpe (September 08, 2010, 12:19 PM)

Didn't work on my birthplace address either, which is odd, given I can find it all day on Google Maps/street view. I keyed in my current address and bingo. If you haven't seen it, it's merely a clever presentation using video, maps, and a person running down the street to get to your address, and then it pans up and outward (all to music).

Hmm... Well I didn't know what it was so I didn't want to give it the address I grew up at, but I used an address in the same neighborhood.
It actually just kind of depressed me thinking about how much has changed since then. :-\

I had the same problem with Firefox, which it allegedly supports.

Me too, so I'm kinda glad it didn't load. :)

One reason to love HTML5 if no other: Disney/ABC/ESPN hates it because:
(1) No room for ads. Without the ability to insert ads, Disney-ABC has little interest in moving towards HTML5. By pushing users towards an exclusive Disney or ABC mobile app, Disney can then insert their own ads at and re-direct users towards ABC-only content without fear of losing them to other content providers.
(2) Little to no copyright protection. This is a major gripe most media companies have when displaying their content and could be another reason why others may stay with a dedicated app for each network.
