It's seems like all major browsers (ie, firefox, safari, chrome) support animated gifs. Though I've been reading that IE might not be faithful to high frame rates. Who doesn't support animated GIFs? Iphone safari seems to just fine. What about other mobile browsers?

Lynx, for example.

Or any other non-graphical browser will likely also have problems.
