There's no reason Adobe can't build in a simple loading spinner that hides the
DOM construction as a piece of dynamic markup loads. It would go a long way
toward making the content that Edge generates feel robust.

cool thing is that it looks like the animation is pretty much generated from a
json object (likely generated from the program). not that there's many other
ways to do it, but still a nice simple implementation.

declines?

I think this is because (as samwillis pointed out) the rollercoaster is
actually going backwards, so the inclines are really the declines and vice
versa. Why they are running the animation backwards is another question,
though.

CSS3 is hardware accelerated on iDevices. AFAIK, it's the only way to get
smooth animations on paltry hardware like this 3G iPhone. And those demos sure
