At the beginning of Web 2.0, it was the UGC (User Generated Content ") this concept by which all our role has changed: we have mutated from passive consumers of digital pages published by traditional publishing producing assets in our own content to our destination peer .
Well, with the launch of Google App Inventor for Android, Google is proposing the same mutation users of mobile phones Android: they can become a developer.
one may speak of UGAs (User Generated Applications) by analogy to the UGC. This is not unlike the dream Permanent (marked for example by the Hypercard launched by Apple in 1987 ) to allow the user himself to satisfy his own needs in application without having to resort to those ugly Jojos computer scientists ....
the NYT article today is clearly in this sense: a system launched by Google originally laid in the school environment, applications written by non-computer (primary school students, nurse etc.).
So the Android mode DYI (Do It Yourself): see tutorials shown by Korben to be convinced.
is naturally in Google's strategy around Android diametrically opposed to that niche Apple : based on a maximum strength to make its platform dominates outrageously on the 4 "main tools" of our daily lives it will soon occupy.
The downside to this opening up: a call for applications to the foot of lesser quality to spam. The task of the Android Market will find it complicated to separate the wheat from the chaff ... unless it allows him to finally overwhelm the alternative Android Market ( listed here) that would run out of search technologies relevant , cleaning out spam, etc.. are at the heart of strategic business Google and its success in doing s. Inventor
App for Android is launched today: we'll have to wait a bit to see what he finally produced ....
The most fun would that do emerge in the firmament of the best applications for developments involving school "seedy" area pros.
There is nevertheless unlikely: applications to great success and high impact (Mapping, routing, research, augmented reality, etc..) Are those that involve large data infrastructures, processing "the cloud" where the mobile phone becomes an interface customization and enrichment these "big lifts" that, it remains - even today - beyond the reach of even discerning hobbyist developer time wasted.
But for how long?
