HTML5 Audio on Safari iOS Browser

Safari on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad now features good audio support, for web games and web apps, using HTML5.  Check out the details here:

For graphic and audio-intensive apps, it's probably better to download the app all in one go, but if the cell phone data plan is taken into consideration and caching is used, anything is possible!

iOS version 5 or above is required, so if the device is on iOS version 3 or 4, there will be no audio. Also, if you are on a cellphone data connection, the audio must be user-activated.
