Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone - Slashdot

Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone - Slashdot
theodp writes "Over the weekend, Microsoft released the beta of TouchStudio, a free Windows Phone app that allows one to write programs for a phone on the very same phone, no computer required. According to the Microsoft Research project page, the work-in-progress TouchStudio aims to bring 'the excitement of the first programmable personal computers to the phone.' Among the code examples provided is a four-liner that scans a phone's music collection for songs less than three minutes long and produces a fairly slick, clickable playlist complete with track info and artwork. Easier than iPhone SDK programming, no?"
I would love to see something like this for tablet development on Android Honeycomb / iPad.
