AppEngine-Magic 0.3.0

appengine-magic abstracts away nearly all the boilerplate necessary to
deploy an App Engine application. It also enables interactive
development through the REPL. The new version has full support for
many App Engine services: the datastore, memcache, user Google account
authentication, the blobstore, sending and receiving email, task
queues, and remote URL access.

ClojureQL - 1.0.0 now in beta

http://bestinclass.dk/index.clj/2010/11/clojureql--1.0.0-now-in-beta.html

ClojureQL 1.0 is has been a long time coming, but I feel confident that the interfaces and primitives of this implementation are whats needed to provide the ultimate SQL integration experience. ClojureQL is similar in intent to Rubys Arel. The current implementation is the refined experience of the previous 2.5 years boiled down into about 700 lines of pure Clojure.

Hacker News discussion on writing apps in HTML5

Interesting discussion.  Several developers are doing most of their work in HTML5, but writing a native wrapper for the web view so that can participate as a native app in the App Store.  Other people say that the web UI is too slow -- for example, it can't keep up with a pinch gesture like a native app.  PhoneGap is mentioned several times as a useful framework.
