http://www.wholesaleappcommunity.com/ In addition, the alliance will utilise existing technical standards, rather than creating new ones to allow developers to access operators’ assets, for example network capabilities or API’s (Application Programming Interfaces) more easily. In practice this means that developers will only have to create one version of their application and this can be used on multiple types of devices and operating systems (such as Symbian, Android, Windows etc) which is not the case today. ********************************************************** I like the idea of the Alliance, it is very logical. It rasies a question for me though. How do they intend to run apps seamlessly accross multiple operating systems? Will the apps all have to be developed in something like Java? I am studying mobile app development, targeting the Android OS, and using Java. I was about to order a load of books(eg hello android) on developing apps for Android today, but I worry the new Alliance platform/technology might render these books and my initial studies obselete in some way. What do you guys think? Is it still worth getting the books or shall I wait until more is revealed about this new cross platform app development system. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
