Do I Owe Apple and HTML5 an Apology?

At first look the little brother n97 mini looks about the same as the first all touch from Nokia. After a second look however, we see that Nokia did try not to duplicate too many things. Yes the screens are the same dimensions but, the mini’s screen is way more sensitive. Is that software or ...
