What can webkit do?

Since there are more and more apps going the web way (like Phonegap, Appcelerator over the mobile and desktop apps development and the ones that I don't know yet), I am wondering what kind of role the web engine (seems the famous engine is webkit) is playing now and in the future?

A web engine is capable of rendering HTML and CSS(for interface), interpreting Javascript(for programming logic), and combining hardware features (like the geo-location, Accelerometer in iPhone we开发者_JAVA百科b). It seems the web engine has become an extremely powerful "language" and also makes the "coding" much more easier(just writing "web code"). Will it be "ubiquitous all around the apps"?

It's just my point of view and correct me if I am wrong.

My question is:

Where can I find some good examples using webkit engine? I am really new to this and hope the examples are fair easy to learn and use. Thank you~

WebKit has implemented a lot of cool standards-based features:

• HTML5 web sockets
• HTML5 video and audio
• HTML5 web workers
• HTML5 geolocation
• Client-side database storage
• Application cache
• CSS 3 animations
• CSS 3 Gradients
• CSS 3 3d Transforms

Chrome OS is Google's project to basically make a browser engine into a whole OS
