Being an open platform, at least Android gives you a choice. I believe 
Google itself is working on something called App Inventor.

Though things like the recent news that the Dalvik VM now works on Maemo 
(with Meego to come), and can run apps written for Android, helps encourage 
folks to at least use languages that compile to Dalvik code.

I tried it, and it is very cool, but IMHO it's more useful as an 
educational tool - and it did, in fact, start out as an educational 
tool.

To develop full-featured Android apps, the App inventor isn't the way to 
go. (Again IMHO)
