Teaching and learning tool to create mobile applications for Android-powered devices

I covered App Inventor for Android in Fortnightly Mailing last August soon after Hal Abelson, on secondment from MIT to Google, announced it.

App Inventor:

"is a new tool in Google Labs that makes it easy for anyone—programmers and non-programmers, professionals and students—to create mobile applications for Android-powered devices."

App Inventor is now publicly available as a "beta", and anyone can now request an App Inventor account. App Inventor is primarily designed to support teaching and learning computer science, in the tradition of the Logo programming language, which started life over 40 years ago.

Have applied for an account so waiting to see. Logo - I remember that, and Seymour Papert and his book "Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas". I must dig it out: it was one of the books that really got me interested in e-learning or CBL as it was then known.
