The device features a 21x optical zoom lens, a quad core 1.4 gigahertz processor and 4.8-inch HD LCD screen."
HTML5 JavaScript Piano - with Data URIs
This synth piano is written solely using HTML, JS, and CSS. It contains a small handful of synths with configurable decays, a looper, demo mode, visual mode, and a variety of colors. View controls by hitting the top-right button on the piano.

to take the server world by storm, including Mobile and Azure...
