Android webkit.WebView and HTML5

Question

is there any list which HTML5 features the WebView supports and which not? I am interested mainly in:

1) localStorage/sessionStorage

2) offline manifest

3) web sockets

4) web workers

Prior there was lack of those features (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg60143.html), but in Android 2.1, first two should be supported, but I am not sure about 3 and 4. Is there any list of supported features or we have to test it on our own?

Thanks a lot BR STeN

Mobile browser info is actually now included on caniuse.com, for your list see:

Or for everything: http://caniuse.com/#agents=mobile

Hi, it would be great, if there will be some page focusing on mobile web browsers for Symbian,Android, iPhone and Blackberry and also page focusing on wrapper components on those mobile phones like UIWebView on iPhone, webkit.WebView on Android, QWebView on Symbian Qt and BrowserField2 on Blackberry. I am mobile phone developer, who is doing also hybrid native/HTML5 applications and knowing the level of mobile support for HTML5, CSS3 features will help me a lot! I am open to help creator of such a page. BR
