Webkit CSS3 Transforms+Animation
For iPad development.

Take care to the order of transformations. Translate, Scale, Rotate. Chaining properties didn't work well. Instead, concatenate transform functions into one string.
$(node).css({'-webkit-transform': 'translate3d(tx, ty, tz) scale3d(sx, sy, sz)'});

jQuery Animation Enhanced Plugin
_ http://playground.benbarnett.net/jquery-animate-enhanced/
The tricky part of this plugin is compromising left, top property definitions with -webkit-transform: translate3d(x, y, x)

Injecting CSS rules to <head>. Neat trick but couldn't use.

node.css({
  '-webkit-transform': 'translate3d('+t_x+'px, '+t_y+'px, 0px) scale3d(0, 0, 0)',
  '-webkit-transition-property': '-webkit-transform',
  '-webkit-transition-duration': '0s',
  '-webkit-transition-timing-function': 'ease'
});
setTimeout(function(){
  node.css({
    '-webkit-transform': 'translate3d('+t_x+'px, '+t_y+'px, 0px) scale3d('+scale+', '+scale+', 0)',
    '-webkit-transition-duration': '1s'
  });
}, 0);

Scale flickering is less likely using scale.toFixed(). The less decimal places, the less shitty.

Animation Enhanced's $.translation()
Get x and y of elements when positioned by translate3d(). Values are parsed from Webkit's -webkit-transform: matrix3d() property.
