July 12, 2010 · Posted in Android , Colibrix.org , Development , Software · Comment

Imagine a world where it would make drag and drop to create an application ... this is just a pipe dream now, but applications like Google App Inventor can reach that dream!

Indeed Google app Inventor (this is a beta version) can die applications for Android with drag and drop video support.

Even if programming is required to obtain a "real" application worthy of the name with a finish and features extended even more relevant, App Inventor deserves to have functions that do not leave us indifferent ... as examples :

"Because App Inventor provides access to a GPS-sensor rental, you can create applications that know where you are. You can create an application to remember where you parked your car, an application that shows the location of your friends or colleagues at a concert or a conference, or your own custom application of your visit to the school, work, or a museum. "

"You can write applications that use the functionality of an Android phone. You can write an application that periodically sends text messages "I miss you" to your family, or an application "No texting while driving" that meets all automatically with texting "Sorry, I'm driving and you subsequently contacted . You can even have the application to read incoming text aloud for you. "
