One feature that the Gmail design team is now working on is the ability to drag files from the desktop into the browser. Gmail will also make use of HTML5's database standards. Currently the e-mail service uses Google Gears to store mail for offline reading, but over time that will migrate to the HTML5 standards."

Bleh lemme im so Sick of HTML 5 when is 6 out? by Rivalz · 2010-06-28 04:51 · Score: 0, Redundant

Call me crazy or wrong but isn't everyone sick of hearing about HTML 5 by now? It felt like a political race with regards to the video, who is supporting what and why. Maybe for HTML 6 we can have a canidate race and I can choose my party affiliation and have a voters registration card. And of course ONLINE Voting in a easily hackable IE6 only browser.
