Transition to HTML 5? or still xhtml 1.0?

Hey people, recently I read about HTML5, but I'm not too sure whether to use it or learn it yet. Are they compatible on IE7, IE8, FF3, Chrome and other modern browsers? So far I only heard that they work on iphone and safari because they're using the webkit software or something.

In addition to that, smashingmagazine has been talk alot about it lately.

Is it ready to be used yet? And has anyone started learning it already?

Here's something to think about:

The use of the internet on mobile devices has grown sharply from the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2009.

In December 2007, 24% of Americans said they had at some point used the internet on their mobile device.
By April 2009, 32% of Americans said they had at some point used the internet on their mobile device.
In December 2007, 11% of Americans said they had yesterday accessed the internet on their mobile.
By April 2009, 19% of Americans said they had yesterday accessed the internet on their mobile.

Full study here: America Unwired - Pew Research Center
I believe the number of people that now own hand helds far outweigh the number that own desktop/laptop computers.
