Very cool! They are still using Flash for audio, however, which is slightly less cool.

Especially since flash is mandatory and they won't let you launch the game without it.

I was able to launch it just fine in Chrome with Flashblock enabled, but of course the game is silent unless you unblock Flash.

Ah thanks for that insight - I was wondering why it asked for Flash on an iPad.

I don't think the iPad browser supports WebGL anyway.

If WebGL isn't available, angry birds will fall back to Canvas drawing.

Interestingly, it actually falls back to a DOM based renderer. Inspect it using Safari and you will see what i mean.
