Andrew, Not talking for iUI but my personal feeling about "other than iThing" is clear: the more the meyer! The support of Android and Fennec is pretty important, Opera Mini too. But the sad reality is there: iPhoneOS is #1 internet mobile platform and comes out with the best browser on mobile devices (Mobile Safari is the only one that provide a specific keymap for input types tel, email, number, … first the integrate navigation.geolocalisation, the only one that support "preserve-3D" in transformation, …).
Some stats at 2010Q1: - Worldwide: Opera 26% Safari Mobile 33% - Europe: Opera 14% Safari Mobile 51% - North America Opera 3% Safari Mobile 50% - Asia Opera 50% Safari Mobile 7% - Oceania Opera 4% Safari Mobile 61% - South America Opera 30% Safari Mobile 20% (leader is Nokia w/ 36%) - Africa Opera 73% Safari Mobile 3% Some browsers HTML5 test results here: http://www.remi-grumeau.com/medias/uploads/html5test.jpg And speaking for iUI, I don't think it was intentional to drop Opera Mini support, since iUI has never meant the support Opera Mini, and so far afaik absolutely no test has been done. But hey, patches and bugfixes are always welcome! ; ) Note that Opera Mobile (for smartphones) supports iUI (pretty badly but it "works" - could be improved). For now, if you care about your user the be able to access and see your contents, you'd better switch to an xHTML/CSS2 solution for NetFront and Opera mobile browsers, and use iUI for other smartphones using iOS or Android...
