There's a similar project at MIT call App Inventor http://www.appinventor.mit.edu/ which uses a graphical Scratch-like environment to build Android apps. I can't tell if the two projects share code, but they certainly share philosophy and approach.

I found App Inventor actually quite a practical way to write small useful Android apps. Certainly better than loading squigabytes of IDE/library/emulator/etc and fighting with the Android build system. (This from someone with plenty of code-cutting history!)

I wouldn't use App Inventor for anything big, but for small projects, have a look.
