I am playing with moving more of the business logic of my app to Javascript. I see how it helps in scalability but not accessibility.

Why why did I just come across Python's list comprehension today. Could have used it yesterday. Much better than lambda functions.

Given that it has iWork, I will probably own one of these within seconds of availability. And VNC and ssh will be there likely.

Please please please tell me that that iPad is more than just a big iPod touch. Please show us a word processor or something.
