The stock android browser pre-honeycomb is absolutely woeful! It doesn't
support touch events and has lots of quirky interactions with JQuery Mobile.
I expected better from a WebKit-based mobile browser (and from Google, the
same people who made Chrome!).

Anyway, they cleaned up their act since and the browser in ( Honeycomb / Ice
Cream Sandwich ) is top notch.

Sad to say, those on gingerbread (ie. The majority of Android users) will
have to deal with the degraded touch-less experience. So you should keep
basic navigation controls in your map viewer as a fallback.
