Sort of, but I expect it's a browser-based app (or maybe Java, something that runs cross-platform). It could be useful, as it will be a vendor-neutral way to do things like magazines.

It may have some utility, but hard to say. One thing is that the promise of cross-platform rarely works out quite as promised. E.g. if you do a layout for a 16:9 horizontal laptop screen, that layout will be a nightmare on a vertical smartphone screen.
