-webkit-overflow-scrolling makes scrolling feel like native, important for web apps and web views. It's like when you make an overflow: scroll div, and you make your main content inside this it.

It also ads the permanent url bar at the top and the navigational arrows at the bottom. This is useful for some web apps, because if those weren't permanent, you couldn't have buttons fixed on the bottom. This is because when you would click them, the back/forward arrows bar would appear pushing your button up so you have to click it again.

I used to use it but I've stopped because it's a whole level of complexity on your complex app.

I wish iOS safari scrolling would feel like native. Many people are using this property for this reason only, sacrificing screen space (the always-on browser interface). It used to be worse with the small screen of the iPhone 4.
