HTML5 Input Type Email

Email field is one of the most common form control in today's world, and not to say it has always been a pain to write a full proof code to validate this email field. HTML5 make the life easy by introducing a new input type completely dedicated to email. 

This input type internally validates the email address and ensuring that it is valid. This type is currently not supported by most of the browser, but it's just the matter of time. However some of the browser like Safari on iphone recognize this type and according display a mini screen that provide with @ and . which are part of almost all email, at least all the email formats that I know. Below image show how the mini keyboard looks.
