It's not so much a question of which device, but which browser. Chrome and Firefox provide WebGL well for Android, and once i0S 8 comes into the fold support will be pretty widespread.

WebGL is a presentation of OpenGL through the browser, so we leverage an existing skill set with an existing API. This is dramatically different from the case with VRML.

I, and a few others, use it for leading edge instructional design. http://www.vizitsolutions.com/portfolio/gausslaw/

Most users stick to their system browsers.

Chrome still hides WebGL behind flags in devices that don't have any problem doing OpenGL ES 3.0.
