I need to do some charts and other customized data visualizations on ipad. Is using webview with D3.js a good option for the ipad ? Any suggestions?

  No, not a good idea due to performance limitations. d3 is very powerful framework but on most mobile devices you can't do anything that complex if it's animated (try the animated demos on a phone). On the other hand if you're doing something less complex like charting, choosing a domain specific framework like highcharts.js can offer much higher frame rates. This problem is much worse on iOS when using a browser like Chrome, or using Safari inside of an app. That's because Apple disables many JS optimizations when not using Safari or when using a browser window inside an app.
