Joel just blogged that the 2nd Early Adopter release of APEX 5.0 is around the corner.

I'm sure this new EA will carry many changes and looking at some screenshots it looks awesome.
I especially look forward to the new universal theme.
Here's what should be in - based on the statement of direction of APEX 5.0 :

I look forward to checking out how dynamic actions have been implemented in the page designer.
