Just in case anyone missed this:
   http://diveintohtml5.org/
.. its a great intro to HTML5, the reason iPad feels it does not need  
Flash.

How about a poll: Go to http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html which  
helps detect your browser's html5 capabilities.  Note the ogg video  
and Marcus's reference:
   http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2010/01/video_freedom_a.html

Here are mine (Safari 4.0.3):
#1: Geolocation: Yup, shows a map using the info.
#2: Canvas: Yes, Produces "Your browser supports the canvas API."
#3: Video: Half, Produces "Your browser can play H.264 video, but not  
Ogg Theora video".
#4: Input types: 5 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the  
following HTML5 input types: search, tel, url,email, number, range"

Using Chrome, 5.0.307.7 beta for Mac:
#1: Geolocation: No.
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: All, Produces "Your browser can play both Ogg Theora and H.
264 video".
#4: Input types: 13 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the  
following HTML5 input types: search, tel,url, email, datetime,  
date,month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, color"

Using Firefox 3.6 for Mac:
#1: Geolocation: Yes, w/ security prompt.
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: Half, Produces "Your browser can play Ogg Theora video, but  
not H.264 video".
#4: Input types: None, Produces "Your browser does not support any  
HTML5 input types"

It looks like Google's Chrome is soon going to be my desktop/laptop  
browser, judging from its html5 support.  Ironic that it does not yet  
have geolocation, considering the other two browsers use it to pop up  
a google map!  Then the iPad and lappy will be html5 ready!  I hope  
Apple goes to both video formats with ogg.

I can confirm Chrome v5.0.307.7 detects on Mac 10.6.2 (but only after it did an auto update), as follows:

#1: Geolocation: No.
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: All, Produces "Your browser can play both Ogg Theora and H.264 video".
#4: Input types: 13 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the following HTML5 input types: search, tel, url, email, datetime, date,month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, color"
#5: Local storage: Yes
#6: Web Workers: Yes
#7: Offline Web Applications: Yes
#8: Placeholder Text: Yes
#9: Form Autofocus: Yes

And for Chrome v4.0.249.78 and v4.0.249,89 (most recent update) detects on Windows XP sp3 as follows:

#1: Geolocation: Yes
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: All, Produces "Your browser can play both Ogg Theora and H.264 video".
#4: Input types: 7 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the following HTML5 input types: search, tel, url, email, number, range, color"
#5: Local storage: Yes
#6: Web Workers: Yes
#7: Offline Web Applications: No
#8: Placeholder Text: Yes
#9: Form Autofocus: Yes

Changes from Mac in red.  I added some of the other tests listed on the page...

Owen are you going to compile all these results?

Thanks
Robert
