What support does SoundCloud's new single-page interface have for IE8 and IE9? Does the new interface use the HTML5 History API to enable state/page transition

What support does SoundCloud's new single-page interface have for IE8 and IE9? Does the new interface use the HTML5 History API to enable state/page transitions? If so, what fallback technique was used for non-HTML5 browsers? Do these browsers get a single-page interface enabled via URL fragment identifiers (#'s), or do they fall back to a multi-page interface where page transitions are handled as they traditionally have been on the web?
Is there any data on how much SoundCloud's transition to a single-page interface decreased latency during navigation relative to the traditional page-loading model?
Apologies if these questions have obvious answers. I tried to sign up for the beta but the party was full, and I'm not familiar with SoundCloud's interface.

Backbone automatically detects pushState availability and fallsback to a hashbang system allowing the SPA to work. For IE <= 8: none. > Is there any data on how much SoundCloud's transition to a single-page interface decreased latency during navigation relative to the traditional page-loading model? Not yet, but that would definitely be a metric we'll be collecting. We're still working very hard on increasing the performance, so it'd be a moving value right now. > I tried to sign up for the beta but the party was full No worries -- you're in the queue and we're gradually expanding the rollout, so you'll get an email soon.
