    Hey Joe, any plans on bringing IE9 (Trident 5.0) stuff to WP7 on IE Mobile? Would be amazing to experience native hardware-accelerated HTML5/JavaScript/CSS on a phone!

    Do you plan to plan to upgrade Internet Explorer Mobile to Trident 5.0 from which Internet Explorer 9 is based or perhaps Trident 4.0 from Internet Explorer 8?

    @Rik @Eric - Web font support is currently in IE9 on the desktop. We're investigating it for mobile.

    @iemoblog No offence, but @font-face has been supported since IE4. It's sad to not see it in WP7. Also, +1 for phonegap. The future is HTML5. If you don't support these kinds of javascript/css3/etc frameworks, you'll miss out on a lot of apps and web developer support. From my understanding you can't even drag stuff (like a div) around with touch-events..

    The Phonegap guys already have a version that works on WP7. We are working with them to ensure that Phonegap developers have a great framework on WP7. The initial release of IE on WP7 does have a few features lacking that the desktop version contains, but we are working to address those in a follow-up release. We are keenly aware of the features we need to make available to enable great Web experiences on the phone.
