In addition to basic I/O and animations, it's able to deal with a lot of the device capabilities, including SMS, GPS, dealing with the camera, and so forth.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any similar environment for programming iThings --- Apple fairly famously rejected a Scratch port from the app store in 2010:

although a "Scratch player" for Android is in alpha, and apparently, people are also working on pure HTML versions.
