Same :-(

Did many people here apply even though you are nto a teacher? That seems to be what they are aiming for first and I didn't bother to lie :P

Not a teacher, and, told the truth. Put "n/a" in for school, etc. For comments said something lame about wanting access, assuming no-one actually reads that.
 
Has anyone got an invite yet? I filled mine out the day it was opened up and I still have not received anything. There are 3 apps I really want to build that will actually be very useful and I am getting impatient waiting for the invite.
 
Nothing. I also told the truth. Should have said I would use it to tutor homeless blind children.
 
I got one. Subscribed the day it was announced and got an invite last friday.

It's a nice idea but the resulting apps are very large. The tutorials start with the creation of an app that shows a picture and, when you touch it, plays an audio file. I built this using a 150 kB JPEG and a 45 kB audio file - the executable generated was 1,5 MByte!

It is pretty complete though - it even provides access to a (local) database. Good for quick prototyping but I'll still be using the SDK and probably the NDK to build the final app.

Interesting. That is a a lot of space. Hmmm...
 
Damn, still waiting on mine. I guess Froyo on my rooted Droid X will have to keep me happy a little longer.
 
Just got my invite also!!! And made my first utterly useless app but hey gotta start learning some where, but boy o boy great new learning curve.
