Small correction, I think this was not a vision or partly a vision,
FireMonkey is mostly Eugeny Krukov's KSDev (http://www.ksdev.com/) bought by
Embarcadero several months ago. He already done all cross-platform stuff and
his library was already fpc-compatible. You can see the screenshots at
http://ksdev.blogspot.com/, unfortunately all the demos were closed, but I
guess we will see many similarities when the actual XE2 will appear.
