IE10 for Windows Phone 8 will finally be competent in HTML5

If you're a Windows Phone 7 user, there are a lot of things to like about the system, but Internet Explorer is not really one of them. The browser is relatively capable of rendering mobile websites without issue, but it has...

i think WP7 is a very balanced OS. Its nice and clean. But the chance of me leaving android is when pigs fly.

What? Give us more details on what they said about the upgradeability to WP8. You got some screenshots or something to back it up? :-)

Android needs to learn to innovate, its always copying like its counterpart Samsung.

It is going to improve, thus so far encouraging

At the moment I couldn't care less in the score on the html5 test, for me the IE9 (and 8 for that matter) on Windows Phone is so much more smoother than on any phone, Android and iOS alike.

13. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) posted on 12 May 2012, 08:06 0 0

its smooth yes, but lacks hardware and software.
even ios is better atleast it supports better cpu gpu...

HTML5 support is nice to have. But my biggest issue with IE on Windows Phone is not being able to play videos. When I go to sites like engadget.com I usually find that about 1/3 of the videos cannot be played. And I cannot watch streaming video like the engadget podcast. When I go to sites like abc.com or Amazon Prime it tells me I need Adobe Flash. I watch allot of online videos so this shortcoming keeps me running Android and just using my WP phone sometimes. And the main reason I use the WP phone is the physical camera button and 16 MP camera on the HTC Titan 2 not because of the OS. In my opinion Windows Phone OS is still only half done compared to Android. It does seem to have much better battery life though.

Personally, IE9 on my Lumia 900 is the best mobile browser I've ever used. IE10 can only improve it.
