HTML5 Features in Latest iPhone
Application Cashe and Database
There are two cool additions to the iPhone that now use HTML5 features: Safari JavaScript Database Programming and HTML5 Application Cache.
Safari Database Application Programming
The HTML 5 specification provides a new mechanism for client-side data storage: JavaScript database support. HTML 5 is currently in development by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).
JavaScript database support is available in Safari 3.1 and later, and in iPhone OS 2.0 and later.
HTML5 Application Cache
This feature is shipped with iPhone OS 2.1. When you use “Add to Home Screen” from the “+” button on Safari for iPhone, a web application with a manifest defined (per the HTML5 spec) will be saved with any cached resources. Note that the manifest file *must* be served with the correct MIME type for this to work.
There is no shipping version of Safari for Mac OS X or Windows that supports this feature yet.
