A quick & naive idea is to subclass UIWebView and override -drawRect: to call 
the inherited method and then set a timer that will capture the view's pixels a 
fraction of a second later. (You'd want a timer for coalescing purposes, since 
there are likely to be multiple calls in a short time interval.)

The reason I say this is naive is because UIWebView almost certainly has a 
whole tree of views inside it that do the actual drawing, so the actual 
-drawRect: calls are probably going to those instead. But you could give this a 
try and see if you get anything useful.
