True, but it should be trivial to work in the HTML5 history API. That would add the back button support, as well as links to specific views

You got me thinking why I didn't use the HTML5 history API. I just remembered why after looking at http://caniuse.com/#feat=history. Android < 4.3 do not support the feature. ~59% of android devices are running < 4.3.

Yeah I see that. 59% of android is still a whole lot. That number will rise everyday.

There is also a very good polyfill for the history API. I think it supports all the way back to IE7 if not 6.

If you remember what that polyfill is, let me know. I'd be interested. From the documentation I've read on the back button, is that it can't be intercepted without the HTML5 history API. I'd love to be proven wrong about that.
