WebGL on a smartphone

Bruce Sherwood
I just learned that the Sony Ericsson smartphone/PlayStation device
Xperia PLAY with Android 2.3.4 has WebGL installed. A guy at Verizon
told me that he successfully ran WebGL-based 3D animations from
glowscript.org on this device. He also said that he doesn't know of
other mobile devices currently supporting WebGL.

In reply to this post by Bruce Sherwood
My colleague David Scherer (I'm working with him on the development of
GlowScript) reports the following concerning the news about the Xperia
PLAY device:

"The default Android browser doesn't support webgl yet.  The maker of
that device hacked it in.  I was able to get it working on my phone by
installing FireFox, though!  On my HTC incredible the rendering is
very slow and lighting doesn't appear to work - everything just looks
ambient."
