Don't think this will work. Simple example: 10 Jan 2010 //parser determines that "10" is ambiguous, reads Jan as "month" and "2010" as year. So "10" is day of the month. Now consider the same date but written as "dd-MMM-yy" format: 10-Jan-1

Good points. Text also allows for version control; although AppInventor is targeted towards newbies, a graphical-based IDE is going to be challenging when you're trying to diff between two seemingly-identical versions.

Not true. If you had been following Nate Silver's site http://fivethirtyeight.com/ in the lead up to the presidential election, you'd have gotten VERY accurate poll results.

Thanks for responding. This is supposedly a HD video clip taken on the iPhone 4, as you can see it is 1280x720. So the guy's estimate was conservative. http://vimeo.com/12671233?hd=1

I'm not familiar with the Nokia N900. Does it do HD (720p) video calls? Do both parties need to setup a Skype or GTalk account to have video calls?

What Google is not addressing is why, as a developer, would I want to host my applications on Google's Web App store if it's essentially the same under any WebKit-based browser. i.e. What is the business case for it?
