Window Azure - Code name - Astoria

I am waiting from long time and inssite that Microsoft release ADO.NET Data Service in Window Azure platform. but in last week microsoft announce Code name called Aestoria which end my waiting

The first version of the ADO.NET Data Services Framework (a.k.a. Project "Astoria") introduced a way of creating and consuming flexible, data-centric REST services. In this incubation project, we are now working on creating an end-to-end story for taking data services offline using synchronization. By integrating data services with the Microsoft Sync Framework, we will enable developers to create offline-capable applications that have a local replica of their data, synchronize that replica with an online data service when a network connection becomes available, and use replicas with the ADO.NET Entity Framework for regular data access.

Whats is Astoria?
The ADO.NET Data Services framework provides a common set of conventions for exposing, accessing and manipulating data across data-centric services using internet friendly protocols and message formats.
As online, data-centric, services have becoming increasingly prevelant, so have the scenarios within which we wish to make use of these services and the data that they provide. Consumers are no longer satisfied being able to only access their data when connected to the internet. Service providers would like to provide the option for consumers to be able to synchronize with the data they expose, for example to enable offline access when the user is temporarily disconnected from the internet.
Astoria Offline strives to enable developers to create offline-capable applications that have a local replica of their data, synchronize that replica with an online data service when a network connection becomes available, and use those replicas with the ADO.NET Entity Framework for regular data access.
