The big news from the keynote was JavaFX.

As WPF/E is to Silverlight, F3 is to JavaFX Script. I wonder if the press will go nuts for this, seeing as though we have known about all of this tech for awhile.

F3 is interesting, but really, another scripting language? Another new thing to learn?

Once again Sun goes for its own thing, and Microsoft has allowed you to write in anything (well, not quite), and Adobe gives you JavaScript which everyone knows.

What is in common between JavaFX Script, Silverlight, Apollo? It is all alpha! :)

Watching the keynote was a little painful too. Between the "this is about humanity" crud, and the broken demos, and the hilarious "who would want this phone!" [one person whistles]. Yowser. Steve Jobs must be having a bit of a laugh.
