This was super cool on my laptop. But there was mention of HTML5/CSS3, so I just had to check it out on every mobile device I had handy. Uh oh...

Doesn't work on Android phone (3.2.6, Nexus One). Pendulum only runs a half cycle, hour/minute hands don't move at all and point to incorrect time. Low frame rate overall. Loads in different places on the screen, including half-way off the right edge, depending some factor I haven't yet deduced (zoom level, perhaps?). Doesn't allow any panning or zooming once loaded.

Doesn't work on Windows phone (Mango, LG Optimus Quantum). Pendulum animation doesn't run at all.

Works beautifully on iPad 1 in landscape. In portrait, background shows a visible seam around the clock.

I really like the design, and appreciate the effort. I just find it a little bit kooky that the OP promotes the non-use of Flash, touting instead technologies that are supposed to work much better (or at all) on mobile devices. It's Alanis Morissette Irony.
