question

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 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.
