Mobile Safari in iOS 4.2.1 supports accelerometer and WebSockets

    In iOS 4.2.1, Safari introduced support for an accelerometer (gyroscope) and WebSockets.

    Maximiliano Firtman posted a video on YouTube demonstrating new features, controlling a ball rolling on a web page using a gyroscope (data on the position of the ball is read 50 times per second).
