Nokia have followed in the footsteps of Google, after they introduced App Inventor for Android.

The Nokia Ovi App Wizard enables anybody to create Nokia Ovi applications without the need of any programming language knowledge. The concept is pretty simple, although you can’t do all the fancy things like you can do with App Inventor for Android it is still useful.

Ovi App Wizard works by taking RSS feeds and transforming it into an application, users can then upload logos, change colour schemes and even add advertising if they wish. It supports multiple RSS feeds so adding your blog and twitter accounts into one application is very simple.

The Ovi App Wizard is already being used by many local developers, even media giant News24 has adopted it and created applications for News24, Channel24, Sport24, Wheels24 and Fin24.

I tested out the Ovi App Wizard this morning and must say I am really impressed with the simplicity and ease it was to create an Ovi application for iGeek, currently the application is waiting approval so keep an eye out for the iGeek Ovi application soon.

If you are interested in trying your hand at creating your own Ovi application I would recommend giving the Ovi App Wizard a try, its free and easy to set up.

Google will today be launching a brand new tool called App Inventor that will enable just about anybody to create apps for Android phones.

App Inventor enables you to create games, draw funny pictures and even make use of the phone’s sensors to move a ball through a maze based on tilting the phone.

The nice thing about App Inventor is you need no coding skills whatsoever, the way App Inventor works is by providing you with a visual interface to design the look of the application and then by adding blocks you can control different behaviors of the components.

This is a smart move by Google to help expand their fast growing Android Market, previously there were kind of similar ways of doing it but nothing that came close to offering app creating with this ease and that was free.

So what is you thoughts on Google App Inventor? Will Android now become the mobile OS of choice when choosing to develop an application?

Imagine this was available before the Word Cup, then anybody could have made a few bucks with a simple Vuvuzela application.
