Windows Phone, once again safe from the dangers of the Internet standards and features!

  Hahah. I just tested this on my Windows Phone, Nokia 925, and yeah, not only does it not vibrate, but it doesn't play the audio. The audio was a surprise, since it runs my HTML5 radio software just fine. I'm guessing the demo used OGG or some other audio format not supported by mobile IE.

    Strange, because I am able to play native HTML5 MP3 audio on other sites just fine.

    Nope. Just standard .mp3 in the demo.

  As a side note to web developers dealing with audio: MP3 is really the "plays everywhere" audio format for HTML5 audio. Firefox was the last holdout, and they capitulated last year [1]; FF for XP and up and FF for Mac now support MP3. There are very few practical reasons not to use MP3.

    You'll block out some Linux users who don't want to violate patents, though. And as the other branch of this discussion painfully illustrates, Windows Mobile.

      Yeah, it is not possible to please every person. MP3 has native HTML5 audio support on web browsers (Chrome, FF, IE, Safari) for Windows XP and up, modern Macs, and any modern Droid, iOS, or Windows Phone sold in the last 5 years. It makes MP3 the broadest supported format out there.
