Google has a new Google Labs project designed to let anybody (as in non-developers) create Android Apps. The project is called App Inventor . While in beta status, App Inventor could become a huge factor in Android growth, should it find semi-mainstream use. If you can get people of all ages creating any kinds of apps they want with little to no friction, Android becomes a much more personalized platform for mobile phone users (not to mention eventually tablets, TVs, etc.).
