If they're thinking of that, I presume they'll sort out the rest as well at some point.

One problem though with the iPad which you didn't highlight. I agree that most families (especially my Dad or Sister) don't need much more than an iPad. Only problem is: you still need a machine to manage that mighty iPad. And that's what's stopping me from getting one for my family. If I would be able to give it to them and have them just use that device for all their activities it would be great, but this way they still need a functioning (and the ones they currently have barely are) computer.

Or languages interpreted by a web stack, LOGO etc should be quite possible within JavaScript these days. Sure, you can't compile anything, but that's the point of the iPad. It's perfectly possible to create different tools than XCode to program for the SDK, which is exactly what Adobe is doing by compiling Flash down to iPhone binaries.

As if I have time for this :( Quite :)

I guess in some ways they were starting to anyway - so this just elevates it even more so. I am not personally interested in the SDK - but I would like to dabble. $99 is a bit much for that though. I mean, that is a fair bit of boutique beer. Yes I think web based programming environments (as basic as they are now) MUST fill that gap.

Whoooooa. I just tested it and, you're right. Colour me surprised. Second time in a month I learn something new in java. I thought I was beyond learning new things in regards to java syntax. This is very very cool. Thanks! Stefan: You can break out of a lone block? Whoooooa.

Got into that habit in C++, where going out of scope actually called destructors which could have real effects, but now I use them if I have several code blocks that are similar enough that I want to re-use a temp var name, but don't want to re-use the var itself, and the code blocks are not close enough to be able to refactor them into a method.

To me, this makes code much more readable. Regarding break out, well, one can label blocks and thus use labeled breaks. Labels may not be a very liked feature in Java, but would additionally name the blocks. I am using blocks quite often, especially to scope initialization sequences of a just defined variable.
