Wasn't Iris, Uzard, or Dorothy supposed to support HTML5?

This sucks as one of my favorite apps is for Open Table and they changed the one they were using and you now need a browser that supports HTML5.

Each browser can have support for HTML5, the question boils down to "how much support". As there is a long array of functions.

so far HTML5 support for mobile is like this:

#1 - Firefox 9 (android) - 313 +9
#2 - Safari (iOS) - 305 +9
#3 - Opera Mobile 11.50 (iOS, Android, Symbian, MeeGo) - 286 +9
#4 - MeeGo stock browser - 271 +14
#5 - BB OS7 stock - 266 +10
#6 - Android ICS stock - 256 +10
#7 - Bada 2 stock - 251 +10
#8 - WebOs 2.2 stock - 201 +5
#9 - Android GB stock - 182 +6
#10 - WP7.5 Mango stock - 141 +1

So your best bet if you want HTML5 is to run an Android port and run FireFox 9 or Opera. If you don't want to load up Android your best bet probably is to downlaod JavaFX 2 JVM and use the Java version of Opera Mini.

Googling around there is a browser called Zetakey Webkit Browser which is a webkit based browser which seems to have some HTML5 support as well..
