App Inventor (beta) is now available in Google Labs to anyone with a Google account.
This availability follows the App Inventor’s launch in July as an “experiment that makes it easier for people to access the capabilities of their Android phone and create apps for their personal use.”
Also, the move was prompted by the interest that the July announcement generated, with teachers and students, parents and kids, programming hobbyists and programming newbies building Android apps that fit their needs.
For example, some people built vocabulary apps for their children, SMS broadcasting apps for their community events, apps that track their favorite public transportation routes and even a marriage proposal app.
