Five Great HTML5 Examples

HTML5 is a new web language that can be supported by the latest browsers (FireFox 3.5, Safari 4) and provides better audio visual experience without the need of plugins like Flash. Attention has been cast on the language after Steve Jobs refused to let Adobe’s Flash run on his iPhone or iPad and openly supported HTML5.
