Ultimately, this is probably good for the ecosystem as a whole, but I worry about this doing for Android app quality what sites like geocities and tripod as well as social networking sites like myspace did for HTML and web standards.

I think App Inventor is a great idea for putting together quick prototypes, especially on the UI side. If there was some way to get at any code created behind the scenes and brought into eclipse, I think it's even better for getting a prototype implemented.
