Fembots have feelings too. At last a new track from amazing Robyn.
The following image is helpful when considering some of the negative, dismissive, and asinine iPad reactions seen in the tech press. It was used towards the end of Steve’s keynote, in one of those heartfelt - some would say corny - passages he doesn’t get enough credit for.

I know it seems “wysiwyg” and “dreamweaver-like” and all kinds of non-hardcore, but I kind of like the idea of Flux 2 as a tool of many, at least for prototyping or starting up a project. It supports HTML5 and CSS3, and all sorts of awesome integration with javscript “packages”, but isn´t really mentioned on any of the bigger web dev blogs. It even supports shifting you over to Espresso when you are ready to get your hands dirty in pure code. I haven´t had a chance to really play with a lot yet though.
UPDATE: Actually, it´s possible to fully create, build and start the local server (for live previewing) for a Ruby on Rails app from within the GUI of Flex 2. And at this time this afternoon it´s out of beta.
Stuf is also kinda cool, but at this point I guess I expect clipboard syncing with an iPhone client as well.
This is killing two birds with one stone with regards to my toddler and next christmas. Oh, and a third bird for daddy, of course, considering it´s the Helvetica typeface:)
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

The greatest technology contributions that Apple has ever made are the ones that are so obvious they are often overlooked. Apple essentially created the language of computer UI. In fact, they have done so twice now.
