Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Platform Support HTML5?

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 might not support the now popular HTML5. During a press conference in Hamburg, Germany, Microsoft Germany Technical Evangelist for Windows Phone & Windows Embedded Frank Prengel indicated that the Redmond, Washington-based company has not concrete plans to include HTML5 support on the upcoming Windows Phone 7 platform.

Prengel demonstrated the new Internet Explorer 7/Internet Explorer 8 hybrid on Windows Phone 7. He stated that the operating system will support Flash only until Adobe makes a suitable final version available, which could take up to six months.

It is, however, concerning that Microsoft plans to launch Windows Phone 7 with absolutely no support for HTML5, which is currently estimated to become the next major web standard.
