How can I disable the magnifying glass that appears when you hold the touch on a UIWebView? I don't want to to disable user interaction but I don't want the webview to show that zoom glass. Any Ideas?

No, the loupe is inextricably linked to selection. To disable it, you will have to disable selection entirely (you can use -webkit-user-select: none to do that).
