The WAC press release says they're starting from JIL and OMTP Bondi; these are web widget APIs, essentially web apps sized for a small screen and with device integration added. So the languages involved will be those of the web: HTML/CSS/JavaScript (for real, not some derivative like WebOS). It's a good plan, IMHO. Web apps can be packaged quite nicely for Android already; see Phonegap for another approach. I've toyed with building a "widget" platform for Android myself, though my personal preference would be the emerging W3C spec. So although there's no mention of Android in the WAC's manifesto, the technologies in question are still applicable. If your app ideas could be written in these languages, definitely look into it. If, however, your app isn't suitable to this approach - 3D graphics, compute- intensive, or tight platform integration, for example - then stick with the conventional Java-based Android SDK. It's not going to be obsoleted anytime soon. String -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
