You can probably make a single apk that can do either the phone or tv half of the job. But why exactly would your application need to require a touchscreen anyway? Presumably an android device is going to have some kind of gui-coordinate-input (mouse/trackball/computer vision gestures, whatever), even if not a touchscreen? > requiring two separate downloads/installs - one for the phone > the other for the tv.

This strikes me as unlikely. Perhaps having some kind of account integration so you can see a quick list of what's on your other devices, or maybe someday market offering an option to purchase a personal license to use an app on all your devices - but automatic download to all your devices would be a big leap, and not necessarily a desirable one. Simple proximity installs would be a SEVERE security problem. Think about all the mischief people get up to with the tv-b-gone, then imagine installing apps on some publically visible google TV... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
