Cut With Flourish is Ed Macovaz's musings on the web, music and design

"Cocktail — And speaking of WebKit, there’s Cocktail, the much-rumored new multimedia “album” format that Apple is expected to debut tomorrow. The idea is to create a new “collection” format that is more than just a collection of songs. What platform could this be based on that would support playback on Mac OS X, Windows, iPhone OS, Apple TV (with a software update), and even, say, a new tablet platform scheduled for early 2010? Oh, and it would help if it were based on technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that developers are already familiar with. Obviously: WebKit. So my guess is that Cocktail is going to be like a sort of next-generation Dashboard."

So what John Gruber is essentially saying is that Cocktail will be WebOS, for Mac.
