3D HTML5 games for iPhone

I been looking for a good 3D JavaScript engine that will allow us to make some kind of html5 game on a mobile but none of them really work on iphones.
Today I found this: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js#readme

Most of the examples do not work with an iphone as they have to many polygons but some do work at 30 frames per second !

These work well in iPhone (3Gs):

http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/examples/canvas_interactive_cubes.html

This one does not work on iphone (you need to be able to click) but looks like fun. Create a 3d model here: http://mrdoob.com/projects/voxels/ When you finish creating your 3D model the url will be longer copy it to your iphone and you will see your 3d model.
