A little introduction here, Apple has released a few HTML5 demos to show off the power of HTML5 encouraging developers to build apps on it. However, this page will work only on Safari ( nice try apple ! ).

update: forget everything, and try this URL http://developer.apple.com/safaridemos/

HTML 5 Demo on Google Chrome

However, Google Chrome users can get this to work on their favorite web browser using the following trick !

Right click on the chrome icon on your desktop

Select Properties

Now, paste the following code at the end of the target box

–user-agent=”Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1 Safari/533.4″

Open Chrome using the desktop shortcut again, and visit apple’s HTML5 page to try the demo !
