HTML5 bullets: Sencha issues developer scorecard for Chrome on Android

Google issued a beta release of Chrome for Android last week. The port, which brings Chrome's feature set and excellent support for Web standards to Android, is a major improvement over the mobile platform's current default browser.

As we reported in our coverage of the beta, Android's default browser has historically had difficulty handling sophisticated application-like Web experiences. The new port of Chrome has the potential to remedy that weakness and bring highly competitive HTML5 support to Android.

Sencha, the company behind the increasingly popular Sencha Touch mobile Web toolkit, has published a hands-on analysis of Chrome for Android in the latest installment of the company's HTML5 Developer Scorecard series, which rates the advanced Web capabilities of new mobile devices and browsers.
