I've seen similar technology before, from a company called Tibco, about 4 years ago. I believe it was called GI Builder.

Edit: Not as impressive, but I believe it's the same concept - http://media.tibco.com/gi/2_create_gui.swf

Certainly the idea is not new. But we do believe this specific implementation (which has a lot to do with the design of the underlying framework) is miles ahead of other offerings.

Yeah definitely, you guys are head & shoulders above the competition - but you are not available, where can I get it / work with it? In Feb it will have been a year since you've announced demo'd it.

edit: I see you guys just changed the 280atlas site.

Well, you can start playing with the framework from here: http://cappuccino.org/

And they just announced that Atlas will be available November 15 in beta for $20.
