Wonder What This Means for 280 North

Motorola acquired these guys last year for their Cocoa-inspired web app framework and tools. It was pretty clearly a hedge against Android. Motorola could use 280 North’s framework to build a WebOS-style web-centric OS — one where Cocoa developers would feel at home. Doubt that’s in the cards now.
