"Google is following in Nokia's footsteps today by offering its users a simple-to-use DIY app maker. Employing a design scheme that relies on visual blocks rather than oodles of arcane code, the App Inventor -- still in Beta, of course -- has functions for "just about anything" you can do with an Android handset, including access to GPS and phone functionality. All that's really missing is the raw creative talent, which we're sure you'll be happy to provide. Hit the source link to get involved or skip past the break for an educational video."
Looks pretty awesome to me, hopefully will let people with a good idea, but who lack the necessary coding skills produce some simple but effective apps.
Now I just need to get myself an android phone and join the fun!
