If you can play LEGO, you can create Android apps with a new software from Google

Making simple applications for Android without writing a single line of code is the goal of Google App Inventor...

Okay Now the million dollar question is - how deep is it really? Can someone really create complex apps out of this? like games, or apps that use the camera, or the 3G connection? Because so far one of the main arguments of Android users was that the Apple appstore is full of "million farting apps". Well - if making cat sounds is the best that this "inventor" can do - then Android is far worse. Or maybe I'm wrong? I know how to play Lego. There is no way in hell any GUI interface can give me the tools to create something akin to Red Alert for iPhone (as an example) with the same ease of Lego playing.

Quoting from above: "Google App Inventor is aiming to let folks who don't want to spend months or years studying programming languages, make their own Android apps that no one else might use, but would make life easier for this particular individual." I'm guessing if it isn't able to do the apps with the camera and 3G now, it might in the future, but I doubt it's powerful enough to do something like Red Alert though... if anything it's a great teaching tool. What I'm more interested in is that the girl in the video is using Safari, not Chrome. WTF! Bad Google employee! Does anyone from Microsoft, Google, Mozilla or Apple use the browser made by their respective companies?!?!

I think the point of this is more akin to not having developers make "farting apps", but rather making it so individuals design those simple apps themselves, and don't flood the market with it.

I'd much rather listen to little kitties then farting noises.

The real question is: how much will take it for the android market to hit the 760.000 apps? I bet that by the end of the year you will have 3 "sms sender app" apps for each app available at the app store
