Google is opening up App Inventor, its web software for easily creating Android apps, to everyone, the company announced yesterday in a blog post.So the kid with parents in the Restaurant Association can make a widget and standardize it to defeat OpentTable. Ditto with Groupon.
App Inventor launched in July, and users previously had to request an invitation to gain access to it. Now the software will drop the need for invites and move to beta status, like many Google services. By doing so, Google has enabled anyone — from novice users, to more experienced programmers — to create Android mobile apps of their own.
Now the Antiplanner presents us with another tablet app deal:
Last week, the House decisively postponed reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, something it has already done 16 times since reauthorization was scheduled to take place in 2007. At stake is the future of America’s airline network, which is beholden to the federal government to maintain and update an antiquated air traffic control system.Seriously kids, if we created Microsoft Flight simulator, then a tablet app with GPS and WiFi can be constructed to eliminate air traffic control altogether. What do we need? Network algorithms, Google air maps, GPS, tablet to tablet communications. Distributed navigation, isn't that how we intend to build the networked car?
