Too bad it only looks good/works decent in iOS. Tried it on an iPhone 4: beautiful. Tried it on an HTC Desire running Android 2.2: Menus overlap, text falls off-screen, buttons don't react.

This is pretty cool however the demos are not rendering correctly on my iPhone 4.2 Safari Browser.

Also huge +1 for awesome doc layout. Ability to switch from CS to JS? Nice.
