We already know that Windows 8 essentially has two versions of IE10, the one you launch from Metro and the one you launch from the desktop with the desktop launched version possessing more features. Today Microsoft detailed (to some extent) what IE10 will be like on Win8 powered phones. They told The Register that the mobile version will not support inline video, multi-track HTML5 audio, drag-and-drop APIs, pinned websites and other features available on the full version. However thanks to the presence of hardware acceleration for graphics the majority of the graphical features you want will be supported by the phone OS. Check out more here.
"SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft has detailed the differences between its Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) web browser for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 ahead of the release of the mobile operating system (OS) in the US today."
