I got approximately 1.5 pages of their server to load. I think it's being used for "smart" TVs first. It sounds like they're trying to build an Apple-free dev environment familiar to Apple dev's. Quoth the raven: SNAP is a completely open-source licensed (for license details click here) development environment based on GNUstep. Historically, GNUstep is based on the OpenStep specification developed by NeXT (now Apple Computer Inc.) plus additional extensions added by Apple through the Cocoa framework. SNAP is an extension of this framework created by Sony and will take a big step forward in evolving a new application framework. The initial areas of enhancement target the windowing system and graphic framework but further modifications and refinements address networking, widgets, UI building, 3D graphics, file system, garbage collection, performance and execution size. The overall goal of the SNAP project is to develop and evolve a next generation native application framework for embedded devices. While SNAP does not currently target a specific hardware platform or product, the long-term goal is to enable SNAP on Consumer Electronic (CE) devices.
