Well, The browser on WP7 is based on IE7 and 8, so there's no native HTML5 support. Of course, a user could download another browser with HTML5 support in favor of IE.
- eli 16y agoIE8 does support a few of the less sexy HTML5 APIs like cross-document messaging. But no <canvas> games or Flash-less <video>
- yatsyk 16y agoSilverlight is only option for WP7 development now so no alternative browser in near future.
- trezor 16y agoTechnically you can use XNA too, and you can make a browser using that. Ofcourse that means you have to toss away all the platforms goods and libraries you have and produce that on your own as well. Not really the sexy option, no. So not saying it's going to happen, but technically speaking it's not impossible either.
- yatsyk 16y agoSure it is possible theoretically but not practically. If you want alternative browser for WP7 you need to create engine from scratch. You could not create browser that can compete with current 4 engines for one or two years. Quite possibly that we've never see new independent browser engine.
- isani 16y agoDownloading another browser isn't possible – at least if you don't want to use the IE rendering engine. UI development for WP7 apps is C# and Silverlight only. This is why Mozilla isn't making Firefox for WP7, for example.
