We're working on using Leaflet as a map display library for Wikipedia's official mobile app, since we can use it cross-platform and use any OpenStreetMap rendering service etc.

On Android 4 (Galaxy Nexus), I find that the map tiles flicker in and out while dragging, and sometimes end up invisible.

There seems to be no problem running in the stock browser, but within PhoneGap (1.3.0 and 1.4.1) something seems awry. We've tested the same isolated map code running in both environments and only have problems under PhoneGap.

Disabling L.Browser.webkit3d avoids this by falling back to traditional positioning, so we're doing that for now...
