title: Hardware Accelerated CSS3 Transitions on Windows Phone Browser
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone knew of an equivalent technology to iOS' translate, rotate, and scale hardware accelerator properties used in CSS3 webkit transitions that I could find in Windows Phone 7 or even Windows Phone 7.1, Mango.</p>
  
  <p>The company I work for creates websites that operate on a variety of mobile platforms.  Currently, we support iPhone and Android devices only, but we're looking to expand our reach to Windows Phones as well.</p>
  
  <p>In the past I used those webkit properties to provide smooth animations for moving around DOM elements in my UI plugins.  jQuery's animate function and even pure javascript just wasn't cutting it.</p>
  
  <p>However, after some research I'm found out that the current Windows Phone 7 doesn't support CSS3 or HTML5.  So my usual methods won't work here.  Fortunately, I've been told that the new 7.5 version should have Internet Explorer 9 on it, which does support some CSS3 and HTML5 technologies.  However, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any webkit-like translate, rotate, and scale properties I can use in Windows Phone.</p>
