On the Blackberry Torch you will fail. I had to resort to a hidden iframe (thankfully Torch will autoplay unlike iOS) in order to play multiple tracks. Don’t even get me started on the woefully incomplete audio event coverage. Want to know when an audio clip has finished playing? Good luck with that….

It only takes one good move to stay in the game. Motorolla proved that with the droid. I like that Blackberry is going the right direction. It only takes one good move to stay in the game.

It’s significantly slower (on things that it can do) than even an ancient iPhone 3G running 3.0. Try the 360* rotation demo, for example. Try loading http://www.apple.com/html5/ on the Torch.
