I was quite excited when I had an email from my brother pointing me to the new Android "App Inventor" that Google has released as a beta allowing easy development of apps for android phones - that is until I discovered that they appear only to have made provision for linux if .deb packages can be installed on your computer - I only run Fedora so it would seem that without rpm install of their programming environment Fedora users are closed out!
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Is there a way to get this stuff running in an up to date Fedora system? Not strictly a Fedora issue but if you are a Fedora user you may well be interested - hence posting this in the Fedora list.

If you want to try, google for "alien" - it is a perl script for converting between several different package formats.

Thanks - looks like moving into "test pilot" territory!
