It's a platform that is supposed to solve the problem that HTML5 promised by subverting the DOM with a custom rendering engine (A port of the Unity Engine to JavaScript). It basically allows you to run a web app at native app performance, cross platform all in your web browser.
I've been at every event since early Dec and I was in the private beta and while they are still working some things out, you wouldn't really be able to tell if some of these demos were obj-c or .js from what they have built.
I feel like the engine reminds me more of the slickness and responsiveness of a Window Mobile 8 interface as opposed to an iOS interface with how smooth some of the scrolling is.

"allows you to run a web app at native app performance"
I would say "promises" instead of "allows". It is still experimental.

For those of us who haven't used WM, is that a good thing or not?
