So, Gears, is not support in a WebView, but if you really *need* Gears features they're easily addable. WebView.addJavascriptInterface will allow you to add arbitrary functionality to a given WebView instance. You can add an interface to Javascript which accesses a Java object you specify. Gears' storage and geolocation features can be mimicked in this way. Obviously great caution needs to be taken here so that malicious Javascript isn't allowed to impact the native system.
Certainly it would be easier if we just offered this as part of WebView, but for now this is the only way I know to accomplish this goal.
