I have not gotten one yet either hope it will be soon.

A few people on this thread say they got it.

So how 'bout ya share with us what it's like? That demo is one thing, but what are the limitations of the App Inventor? What can it do that you didn't expect it to do? What doesn't it do that you expected it to do? What doesn't it do that you *hoped* it would do?

Just got mine today too, I'll try it out this evening and report back

Nothing... not a word... even submitted my email address again... I'm hoping that posting here complaining will be the trigger that fixes all of this.

 

[Billiard22]

Nothing yet for me. Hopefully I can get the email, I'm really excited to see what can be done with it.

If the rumor of only dishing out 10 a day is true, I'd stop holding my breath.

I'm starting to think that this App Inventor is some sort of nefarious plot to assimilate posters in this thread. Every time someone says they got it they never post in the thread again!

I am in finally. Not a bad tool. Takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you can really do quite a bit. Again, as someone else pointed out, its really not a substitute for the SDK. You cant edit code, or even view it, but at least you can get some basic ideas down and working.

I got mine today and I gotta say the blocks are an amazing idea. Only thing is I can't yet figure out how to create my own blocks. After completing the pet the kitty tutorial, I tried changing it by trying to add a vibrate block along with the play sound block. I got a caution flag that said I need to define the duration in millisecs by using a block piece, but I couldn't find such a piece. Its like I'm back in kindergarden and I'm stuck looking for the white triangle shaped lego to complete my space ship, I love it!!

hmm, I wonder what the difference in terms of quality of work,, would it be with the diy app creator,, and other developer companies,, whether u go get some coders from india, or use mobi interactive, or even pennie apps.

if the market for these apps grows increasingly, sort of like the iphone, then will apple make one as well??

 

[droid_mike]

I'm convinced that I'm the only person in the world who hasn't gotten this yet. Is there anyone else out there still waiting?

 

[czerdrill]

still waiting here too...sucks haha
