Google App Inventor for Android

Google the internet giant has taken another step in approaching the masses for in developing Andriod software. This can be a really good step by google where i was talking about the major problem which is being faced by Microsoft, i.e Opensource. Google is offering a software tool, that is intended to make it easy for people to write applications for its Android smartphones.

Andriod OS has really picked by the opensource community and as i said always Mobile is the next big thing, sorry its already a big thing :), Google is concentrating more on Mobile technologies. Recently HP annouced the cloud technology which is focused mainly towards the mobile users where user can create some tasks on the cloud and they can use it even with mobiles which arent enabled for internet.

Now Google says the user should be a creater not just a consumer .. sounds cool :).Google wanted to allow its users to create applications on the mobile and then use them. They release free software called Google App Inventor for ANdriod.

The freesoftware called Google App Inventor for Android (http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/), has been under development for a year. User testing has been done mainly in schools with groups that included sixth graders, high school girls, nursing students and university undergraduates who are not computer science majors.

“The goal is to enable people to become creators, not just consumers, in this mobile world,”

The interesting fact about this software is, even a non technical user can develop any application on his or her mobile phone just by dragging some code snippets and put them together which results in as a new application :) so simple.

The Google application tool for Android enables people to drag and drop blocks of code —shown as graphic images and representing different smartphone capabilities — and put them together, similar to snapping together Lego blocks. The result is an application on that person’s smartphone.

On user testing of this app, a student created an application which automatically replies to the text messages while driving .. i mean to say "custom messages" like "please do message me iam on driving"... guys i have an idea include Artificial intelligence which starts chatting with your freinds while you perform some other task... :) sounds creepy ha but that day is not too far away i guess.....
