Google Unveils New Cross Platform Design Language “Material Design”

What is Cross Platform ....?


A Platform is any  software framework or hardware architecture from which a software application can be launched. Platforms  include 
                              graphical user interfaces (GUI) 
                              operating systems (OS) such as Windows or Macintosh OS and OSX, 
                              programming languages
                              the actual computer hardware architecture itself

If a software application is compatible with many platforms it is referred to as Cross Platform.

                                                                 eg:  Java and QuickTime-based packages.
