Will iOS ever fully support HTML5?

Specifically in terms of audio and video support.
Autoplay, Looping, Preload...
I've heard rumors that Apple is purposely crippling HTML5 in iOS so that purchased apps will always have an advantage. I know that the official line is that they don't want to overload users' data usage, but as more and more devices (ie. iPads) are connected exclusively via WiFi, the data usage argument gets weaker and weaker. How hard would it be for Apple to simply add a preference to Mobile Safari that allows the user to specify whether or not they want AutoPlay (and other media features) enabled?
The ability of HTML5 to deliver "Flash-like" content on an iPad will only be attainable if Apple actually builds a browser that doesn't pick and choose which media features are supported. Apple is supposed to be one of the great champions of HTML5, but their ongoing denial of key features in HTML5 is beginning to look suspicious.
A standard is supposed to be a standard.
There's a wonderful program for creating HTML5 compliant content call "Hype". It is a fantastic tool, and I can't wait to see how it evolves. But I'm primarily interested in using Hype to develop content for iOS devices, and it's frustrating to see the usefulness of Hype significantly diminished simply because of a stubborn and artificial limit imposed by Apple.
End of rant. Thanks for listening.

Know that HTML5 is, like iOS, a work in progress. As well, know that iOS sits on WebKit for that particular support, so you may be looking in the wrong corner for gremlins.
And finally, know that iOS 5 brings an entirely new WebKit version to the table, meaning that HTML5 is more supported than ever, to the point that Apple may have lessened the need for native apps in the store outright.
Building an up-do-date HTML5 equipped web site means having content ready for iOS and Android, without ever going neer a complicated IDE at all.
Isn't Apple great

Will iBooks ever be supported on a mac?

I am an avid reader of ibooks on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4. I also have a macbook pro and would love to have my books be readable on my laptop. This is especially important because of the release of textbooks and interactivce content within iBooks. It seems to me that there would be a huge market for college/high school students who would buy more text books through iBooks if there was support on their laptops. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No. Android does not have support for NDK apps using OpenGL 2.0 in Android 2.1. OpenGL 2.0 is a critical graphics component of Firefox for Android.

Does Firefox portable (4.0.1) fully support HTML5?

Hello,
I want to create a firefox-based program. For a good look this would require HTML5. Does the newest Version of Firefox support HTML5? To what extent? Is there any good information resource for this?
Thanks!
Markus

Yes, Firefox supports HTML5. See this article for more details: [http://www.h-online.com/open/features/What-s-new-in-Firefox-4-0-1212755.html?page=2 What's new in Firefox 4.0]

Will iOS ever support more than one window simultaneously on the iPad? Need for real business work...

I would like to have more than 1 window (2 is better than 1 but more could be helpful) to for example be reading a document and using another to take notes or to copy/paste between them. This is a key barrier to me using the iPad more than my MacBook.

There are apps that provide two are more viewing "windows".

When will the PS3 fully support the PS4 controller?

The PS4 controller is recognized by Steam as a PS4 controller, but when connected to the PS3 it's recognized as a common "wireless controller"...how come? The controller doesn't vibrate and the PS button won't work (cable or wireless doesn't matter, it's the same) Aren't you going to fix this already?

GraphiteGB ha scritto:
Likely never... As the games were NEVER built to support the input signals from DS4 any way so will malfunction...Every game would need a repatch to support the controller... and that won't happen... as Publishers won't pay for it.. The DS4 is a next gen Controller... Not even USB compatable with PS3 as games won't support that USB controller... Lots of functions don't even work on $3,000 PCs set up and the functions that do work were only reverse engineered by Fans but functions still remain disabled even on those devices... as they remain incompatable drivers... And any way the DS3 remians CHEAPER than the DS4 and fully functions on the PS3 it was designed for...The DS4 BT only driver is not supported buy all games, only the DS3 BT driver profile is... Couldn't they make the PS3 recognize it as a PS3 controller? You can do it easily on PC, emulate an Xbox 360 controller using a PS3 one etc, so that every game automatically works just fine. It's not that they can't, it's that they just don't care... You can take a look at the PS3's software, it's clear that they don't. (PS Store and other problems) Also, I never said I hated the PS3 controller (which is much more durable than the PS4 one), but after playing with the DS4 I find it really hard to get used again to the DS3, the DS4's feeling is just unique! Think of it in this way:I own a PS3 and a PS4. Isn't it stupid that I can't play Tekken together with a friend? And that I need to buy another PS3 controller if I want to?

Firefox Beta 4 does not seem to be supported on my iBook G4 architecture, will this ever be supported, or do I need to leave Mozilla?

This will be a make or break feature for me, I do not intend to abandon my Power PC based Mac machines, so need a browser that is supported on them, and also provides at least minimal support for my Microsoft based PC (kept for those few applications that will not run on the Mac OS X systems).

Firefox 4 will require an Intel Mac. There is a third-party version being developed that will work on PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

Will iOS 7 fully run on the ipod 4th gens?

Just wondering, because so far the ios 6.1.3 is watered down of what they said it would have. so will it be the same on iOS7 just by being watered down, meaning that its not gonna get the features?

Guess so, since Apple has yet to even hint at an "iOS 7", much less announce.
I have no idea, however, what you might mean by "watered down". iOS 6.1.3 isn't "watered down" in any way that I can think of, though there are functions that the hardware in a fourth-generation iPod touch can't run; Siri most notably.

Will Adobe ever add support for JPEG-XR?

There's been quite a bit of work done on the Flash Player to display and export JPEG-XR files. During the Flash CS6 prerelease, the Flash team talked about additional JPEG-XR support for things like spritesheet creation.
I know there's an ancient Photoshop plug-in for JPEG-XR, but does Adobe have any plans to make JPEG-XR a first-class citizen in Photoshop? Considering the numerous benefits the format offers, I'm puzzled as to why this hasn't been added.
Either way, it would be helpful to get the scoop. If there are no plans to support it then I'll buy a product that does, but I'd prefer Photoshop.

I've been using XnConvert to convert uncompressed files to JPEG-XR. It's a free, cross-platform, batch file converter:
http://www.xnconvert.com/
XnConvert doesn't have as much control over compression settings as I would like, but the JPEG-XR files it creates are 30% – 50% smaller than comparable JPEG files saved using Photoshop's "Save for Web".

Will Firefox 5.0 ever be supported by HP Smart Print?

Will Firefox ever be supported by HP Smart Print.? The Add ons now do not work/are not compatible with FF 5.0.

I do not have any inside information from HP, but someone working for a company with a large consumer medical site mentioned to me that they can no longer support Firefox due to thier new release model of a major release every 3 months. (FF 5 was just released recently, FF6 beta is already out). The release schedule is happening too quickly, and there is not enough backward compatibility, particurlarly for add-ins to allow proper support. By the time testing for a release can be done the release has already been obsoleted with the next version.
I would be surprised if HP would support Firefox in add-ins like Smart Printing, they would always be behind and would have unhappy customers.
[Disclaimer - I do not work for HP and do not have any information, official or otherwise, from HP folks on this subject. The above is my opinion.]

HT202905 Will AppleScript ever work on my iPad? I want it in numbers for stock info

Will AppleScript ever be supported on iOS? I want to use it to get stock information into numbers.

Hi,
I have the same question.
Have you tried or looked at whether the Automator app on the MAC has a component that works on the iPad or iOS? They have a website
http://macosxautomation.com/automator/
(this app can be found usually under the launcher>utilities folder on the MAC)
Maybe you could submit this to Apple FEEDBACK.
Certainly some knd of script for iPAD would be useful. I am new to the iPAD and really don't know much about what it can do- just what I want to do.
Good Luck

Will PS Touch be supported on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (Android 3.2, resolution 1024x600) and when I try to buy this application Google Play shows "This app is incompatible with your Samsung GT-P6210".
Is it because of the resolution? Will it ever be supported?

From the tech specs page for PS Touch:
Android
Operating system: Android™ 3.1 or higher
Display size: 8.9-inch or larger
Display resolution: 1280 x 800 minimum
Camera: Recommended

Hope that helped.
