Bringing app development to the masses through a wysiwyg style gui.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20010214-264.html
This is indeed very nice. I wonder though if the apps made through this can have the same amount of detail/power as the ones built from Java/C?
Has anyone an email for the invite?

The article mentioned GPS, Calls, and texts. So at least that much.
I applied but doubt ill get it. Wonder if itll be possible for someone to get it and then release the app on torrents?
Please post/torrent when this is available.
No one has gotten email and we need this app.
I don't really think that they will limit the liscens for it, maybe slowly release them like google voice. will post when i get the email back though.
They'll probally do the licenses like they did Wave. So it could be a damn fiasco again. Even tho I got a Wave invite early its still dumb

Yeah, Monday would be TODAY. They launched it and announced it, but you just can't use it yet. This sucks.
Ohhhh boy, another program to take up all my time tinkering... will I ever get anything done in life besides messing with my phone? No.
i wonder how good it will be i've been very interested in seeing a android version of mymobier if a my mobiler app could be made from this
i definitely got a geek boner for this one. Super stoked as I have just started dipping my feet into development. This allows me to spend less time coding it and more time making it kick ass lol.

i saw a thread in the "regular hero" forums saying something about setting up a wave group that talks about stuff related to the development aspect of things going on with our phone and thought that it sounded like an awesome idea (considering i watched a 1.5 hour video on goole wave and it looks like its gonna be the balls. and i just managed to get an invite) like i said, thought it would be a neat idea. just post your wave address
ill start
[email protected]
That doesn't sound like a bad idea, I don't know much about wave yet, but I'll glady accept an invite to check it out.

I agree, using waves connected to aspects of the development of roms and the like would be pretty useful IMO.
For instance take the kernel reverse engineering thread, if that was a wave and you had multiple people working on it while being able to include pics comments and whatnot in real time, imagine the increase of development speed.
Integrating more devs into projects would probably be very beneficial, while helping to trump the annoyances in integrating projects.
Sounds useful. Thanks for the invite.
I'm in. I tried to give out some invites in the last Wave thread, but I fell victim to the disappearing wave issue. so now, I have about 15 invites, if anyone would like one, please pm me.
I would like one, please
I'll take one!

No sign of my invite yet either, really looking forward to this.
Just so you guys know, this isn't an app you can pass around. Once you get the invite, its done through HTML5. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you dont get an invite, there will be no way to use it

I think because they are easy to code.
Fortunately I have read the Google faq and the question of apps flooding the market is asked.
This is the answer:
Currently there are technical limitations to being able to upload an App Inventor app to the Andorid Market but we are actively evaluating the best way to integrate with the Market.

Download the source from Google App inventor and find the code that gets detected and change it around a bit.
Thats how most things get past detection.
HOWEVER, I will not do this of course, I am going to use App inventor for personal apps or publish it out of the market.
I have a strange thing how I learn programming, I tend to learn more from examples of code and I have learned LUA(For Gmod) and PAWN(for AMXX) but those are scripting languages.
Some App inventor apps might be worth to be on the market.
There is already lots of messy apps out there but the rating system takes care of that.
I got my invite Monday but haven't got around to trying it out yet, but i don't think you'll be able to make complex apps with this i might take a look at it next week if i get a chance i'll let ya'll know if its really game changing or not .
Beta is out, if its ok I will post.
Got my invite as well. So far looking good. Nice GUI plus response. I find it WAY faster than Trillian Beta, although some Skype and Video exchange might be good for next release
The end of the email reads:
"Also, please understand that the build is only for folks who have registered with us for the beta program and is not intended to be shared with any one. "
So now I ask you. Do you think its ok to post it?

That's cute, but why should someone have to Google something that someone's advertising. Obviously if you announce that something out its to garner interest, no? With that being the case, ways the harm in typing even a one sentence description? Seems pretty common sense.
And I just realized that the last two responses before that post could've been a simple description as well, but acting like someone doesn't know what Google is in an Android forum seems to take priority over posting something useful.
Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, it's a messenging client for multiple services. I love things like trillian on my pc so ill be waiting for this one
I'm on it now, it rules. I just pray that it doesn't become a permanent beta like the wm version

I'm using it now. This destroys Trillian. Does anyone know if it uses Froyo's built-in push notifications API, C2DM ? I'm concerned about battery life.
Androidica has an active link to the download for what its worth.
In case it's not supposed to be distributed, check out this link because it has a cool video of it and not for the download link...

this is a pretty popular app, thats why I didnt bother getting into detail, and Trillian has been out for beta use for the public, not a fan , and im sure you will say that when you use it.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.
