WTF? Motorola buys 280 North, creators of the Cappuccino web framework which includes the very Apple-esque programming language Objective-J (a play on Apple's Obective-C language.) Cappuccino is a very cool way to write web applications. I think Apple missed the boat here on an obviously good fit. Hopefully Motorola will be a good steward - they might really have something here for developing their own flavor of Android (or just for writing apps that run under Andriod.) It just strikes me as a strange (but good!) move by Motorola.
