I'm not sure how anyone could look at the current SDK version + screen resolutions permutation and say it's not fragmented. And that's not even counting different phone hardware I don't have in hand to test on when a user complains. Supporting Android is a nightmare right this minute, and it will only get worse from here. The only option I have as an independent developer is to go with the biggest numbers and hope the minorities don't kill my app off with Marketplace comments I can't respond to. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com
