I'm not sure if this thing will take away programmer 'candidates' than actually add a class of 'casual programmers' who have more potential to take the steps further to learn a more structured approach to programming. I think these casual programmers will bring interesting apps from their respective fields of interests, which are certainly broader than what is currently there already. And more meow apps.
They're maemo and MeeGo... "Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
