When is this stuff coming to Android? I want it, now! It would be perfect for an Android game idea I had, but it doesn't appear to work. I could just write it in Java I guess...

It's already in the web browser.

No it's not - unlike iPhone, Android WebKit does not have SVG support.

Accidentally voted you down - sorry (last time I try to do that mobile before zooming down).

I did want to add though: does anyone know why this is, or if it's slated for a future (2.2?) release?

I've believe it's because SVG support is still listed as experimental in WebKit; there are 258 SVG bugs listed on WebKit's Bugzilla: https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?product=WebKit&compo...

That definitely explains it. If I wasn't primarily a JS developer I'd probably delve in and help fix it :) Really want SVG support on my N1.
