One of the biggest revelations at WWDC was quietly unveiled in
a session on Friday morning entitled "Building Native Look-and-Feel Web

about it.

source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired JavaScript framework for
creating web applications that look and feel like Desktop applications.

Adobe 'pleased' with ongoing Flash for iPhone development |
Adobe said Monday that it's happy with the efforts of its
engineers thus far to get a version of the company's Flash multimedia
technology up and running on Apple's iPhone, but admitted there's much

Flash Wars: The Many Enemies and Obstacles of Flash [Part 2 of 3] |
While widely deployed as a web plugin and among the few web
technologies that have become a household word, Adobe's Flash has more

its hand in opening the Flash specification. Here's a look at the
external competitors of Flash, and how Flash has hurt its own chances
to establish itself as a web platform in the future.
