Ah, I follow you.  Yep, there are so many browsers out there these
days - not to mention the versions within a particular browser.  I am
curious to see how all of the HTML5 interpretations pan out with each
browser because you can build forms that look VERY native with things
like SenchaTouch.  I am working on an HTML5/SenchaTouch app right now
and am impressed with what I have seen so far (though it only works in
Safari, Chrome, and on my Android which are HTML5 capable).
