It *is* a little different. E.g. you won't have corresponding finger- events for mouseover, mouseout, etc. The phone cannot quite detect your finger hovering over the screen without your finger touching the screen. This may affect the functionality of some javascript libraries if they (partially) rely on these events. And some javascript libraries may not have been tested (at all) on Android's WebKit.
