WebSocket NOT supported in iPhone OS 4

UPDATE July 2010: since the beta 2 release of iOS4, Apple has disabled websocket support. A few readers pointed this out, so I made a trip to an Apple Store it run a few tests.
Confirmed: iOS4 as it is released reports it does NOT have websocket support.
ORIGINAL POST:
Since the Safari web browser on the iPhone is based on WebKit, it makes sense that at some point support for WebSocket would make it to the iPhone.
Safari on iPhone OS 4 does support WebSocket.
Once OS 4 is available for the iPad, support should be there as well.
Thanks to reader Arun for pointing this out.
