I was curious about how Mobile Safari handles that tag. Does it play the video in the browser, directly? Does it kick off, either immediately or on a touch, to the YouTube or IPod apps to play the video? Does it simply ignore/not support it?</p> <p>Back to Latitude, background downloading still proceeds, but does the javascript engine continue to run, or is it suspended? The former would likely be required for a Google Latitude webapp to be worthwhile, but I could see also how that could possibly bog things down.</p> Thanks for checking.

I see reports around the web that such support may be included, though nothing recent.
