[IAEP] DesignBlocks

[Christoph Derndorfer]

On a somewhat related note:

Microsoft Research introduced TouchStudio for Windows Phone 7
(http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/touchstudio/default.aspx)
to allow development right on the phones the other day. The video
(http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Peli/TouchStudio-Script-Your-Phone-on-Your-Phone-Reloaded)
is well worth a look in my opinion.

Another similar effort is the Catdroid project
(http://code.google.com/p/catroid/) which is being developed at Graz
University of Technology in Graz, Austria - and currently sponsored via
GSoC - and aims to be "an on-device graphical programming language for
Android devices that is inspired by the Scratch".

While it's early days for both projects I think that anyone working on
efforts in this area should keep an eye on them. Lessons learned from
these (touchscreen) on-device environments could be particularly useful
looking towards the XO-3 and other tablets.

Cheers,
Christoph
