Please post your patch on HN when you release it. I think many HN readers would be interested.
Definitely will! Just waiting to hear from saurik about getting it in the store. Hopefully it'll be up soon.

Not to dash any hopes of getting rich on this :) but is your patch significantly different than this:

? I've never tried it, but the occasional screenshot and video have shown up online from people saying it works pretty well.
Yes-ish. Same exact mechanism to enable it inside the WebView, but the tough (well, marginally) part is how you apply that to all the WebViews on the system.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a substantial patch. However, it saves you from a couple hours of debugging random issues; I don't think $1 is unreasonable. I don't really care about making money off it, though, I'm just curious to see how it does.
Smooth as butter, but it seems that everyone uses onmousedown/over/up rather than ontouch* events, so click-to-view type things don't work at all on iOS, meaning you can't rotate the model here. I guess that's simply because WebGL has been 99.9% on the desktop so far, with the few exceptions being Mobile Firefox, Boot2Gecko, and the Playbook browser. Still interesting I think, though.
