AppInventor. The concept of letting anyone make applications using drag and drop is promising. Unfortunately, it will be a while before a large number of good apps actually make it out of the AppInventor platform. AppInventor is still in its beta release with limited support. So, if you're planning on developing with it, make sure you check out what it can and cannot do.
Getting AppInventor to work on your Android powered device involves setting up your computer and your phone. Although both setups are trivial, the phone setup is annoying because of the different menus that you need to dig through to enable/disable specific settings. So came the birth of my first Android application - a simple toggle for one click enabling/disabling of these settings: AppInventor Toggle.
I've tested the application with a Google ION running 1.6 and various hardware configurations on the emulator. The software is ad-free and available as a free download on the market and various other app stores. Do give it a shot if you use AppInventor and let me know if it helps.

Nifty little app. I also use it otherwise when I want to keep the phone awake, so it's more than just an appinventor app. nice work..
