GIF has a special case of transparency, a binary alpha channel. PNG has a proper, analogue, alpha channel, but authors cannot use this when they want transparency because IE doesn't support alpha channels in PNG images. That means that PNG will not, in real life, fill one of the main roles for GIF in web pages.
