I was downloading the files for Dancing Pixels Sixaxis Controller - An Android app which allows you to use your PS3 Sixaxis control pad on your Android phone - and in my case, my Android tablet.
Obviously that was very appealing, and I started to download the program i needed to pair the controller with my divice etc.
Anyway, while looking on YT at videos of how to do this, I stumbled upon a next video which caught my attention.
It was for the Google App Inventor. An interface for developing Android apps, using a visual 'block building' flow.
Looked pretty decent from the little video I saw of someone creating a fairly basic Twitter type appplication.
It looked a bit like the IOS App.Cat service, not quite as simple as that but not as hard as say writing code in Eclipse or whatever more traditional methods people use.
So i tried to d/l it so i can take a look at it in more detail.
Google search led me to an MIT page which stated that App Inventor was dropped when Google droped their Labs service, but it was taken over by one MIT department... thats the gist i got anyway.
However, i couldnt find any link to the download for it.
Just wondering if anyone here had experience of using it, and knew where to d/l from officialy now - Or has it pretty much fallen into the dead applications bin and really not worth looking into using?
