If you create a new tabbed application in XCode, the default setup will give you two tabs, with square and round images in the tab bar for the tabs.

Note the shiny blue appearance of the selected tab.  So, what do the original images look like?  Pretty boring, actually:  just a plain black circle and square.

Wow, that's a quite a difference.  Pretty cool, right?  I thought so too.  But then ...

The mobile revolution has created a plethora of new platforms and languages. It is rare to see old technologies successfully reaching new grounds together. A good example of this is .NET MVC and jQuery Mobile. The blends of Razor, HTML, CSS, and jQuery make mobile a very familiar territory, a package that makes things quick, easy, and beautiful!

On January 31st 2010, I wrote a blog expressing my opinion and reasoning behind rejecting the idea of having an iPad and predicting its imminent failure.
