Now Google is offering a do-it-yourself mobile app tool. The tool, which is available now in Google Labs, is called App Inventor.
To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app’s behavior.
Android continues to grab a section of the smartphone market and is just about ready to jump into the number three spot, behind RIM and Apple. In addition to Android, mobile Web usage itself is also on the rise, with numbers increasing across the board.
For the three-month period leading up to last December, Google's Android platform accounted for just 5.2% of smartphone devices. By last Februrary, it had nearly doubled to 9% and now it has grown again to 13%, gaining around 4% of the smartphone market every three months.
