Google Lab's App Inventor

[Shamrock3D]

Has anyone checked out Google Lab's App Inventor? I would like to know if anyone has created anything and tried it out on their Adam. http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/index.html

I have created one finished app in it and more than one proof of concept type idea. Neither have been tried on my adam as I don't have it yet :)

As a tool for creating apps it's very good if a little funny, not haha, in places. but it works well.

I'm meant to be working on one for my company, but as always life is interfering with it. If anyone has any hints 'n' tips on using it I would appreciate hearing about them. :D

Plan your project, No databases means clever manipulation of the lists feature, you can have lists of lists of lists so creating tables but you need to be careful not to get confused. I found that if I tried making a copy of a list it didn't actually make a copy, it made a linked copy so changing one list would also change the original list.

Other than that it was good. The resultant files aren't small mind.
