Google are trying to make their Android mobile platfrom as open as possible, and to that end they've released a simple (apparently) app developer for people to make their own.
App Inventor allows people to do just that. See the details here, or follow this tutorial to make your own WhacAMole.
Or watch this video to see how to make a cat app.
This is a pretty interesting move, considering how 'closed' the Apple system is.
