Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Google's beautiful HTML5 guide to the Web
20 Things is fully illustrated, too, and on each page a cheesy subtitle or piece of poetry awaits. Put simply, it's a delight. If you're a hardened Web expert, spend a few minutes leafing through it to enjoy the HTML5esque features -- the offline storage, the page-turning, flipping the light switch in the bottom-right corner -- and then send the link to a friend or family member. Check the Google announcement if you want more details.
It's a damn sight better than Google's last attempt at an HTML5 showpiece, that's for sure. At least this one actually works with Firefox and Internet Explorer 9! It's a little bit slow with Opera, but there should be a hardware-accelerated beta version of Opera 11 any day now...

But why can't I view it in full action (including page flipping) on iPad??
Isn't the whole idea behind the Jobs refusal to support Adobe, that
HTML5 is just fine, thank you.
iPad shows the pages, but without any annimation including the
curling pageflips.

Good question!
It will use a lot of JavaScript too, and presumably some CSS3 as well -- not just HTML5 elements.
As far as I know, the iPad browser is nothing special -- just a variant of Safari? It's possible it doesn't support everything the 20 Things site requires.

love that if you close out the window and come back, you can pick up where you left

ah fun, a showcase page from google that not only wont open on my android phone but then insults me (themselves? ) by recommending that i update to a modern browser. thanks for reminding me that your products don't work together google.

Doh :)
The next generation of mobile browsers (Firefox 4 for Mobile?) should work.
