Interesting article on the topic in the NYT's:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/technology/12google.html?src=busln

Especially this paragraph:

"The tool is Web-based except for a small software download that
automatically syncs the programs created on a personal computer,
connected to the application inventor Web site, with an Android
smartphone. When making programs, the phone must be connected to a
computer with a U.S.B. link."

>From this I can assume that the result is an APK, not a project, so it
can't be used as a frontend type tool to prototype a UI and get some
base code created. That certainly makes it less valuable to any
experienced Android or Java programmer. Of course, there might be a
way to download the project in source form so it could be opened in
Eclipse and modified. It would seem silly that Google would go through
the trouble to create such a tool and not give the author access to
the finished project.
