http://www.flickr.com/photos/hendry/sets/72157623074084311/ The problem is that Android 1.6's canvas support is otherwise pretty good. http://www.w3.org/2008/06/mobile-test/canvas-new.js is quite a difficult test. If I remember correctly I made the test harder, because I noticed that some canvas implementations weren't doing compositions with transparency right. Transparency is arguably just eye candy, though one could argue the same with the whole of canvas. ;) Android 2.0 and 2.0.1 have this particular canvas bug fixed. This issue manifested itself at work since we didn't do any canvas demos on 1.6 since we assumed it didn't have correct support, which is not quite true. The point is, this bug is fairly easy to work around for most cases, so people should not be fooled (like I did myself) into thinking Android 1.6 has inadequate canvas support. However, after giving it some thought, I propose not to change the test and keep it as it is. Kind regards,
