Yeah, I hear you, honestly I do. It's a situation, though, where users complain if you *don't* provide a 4x4 widget in addition to the ones you already do. Or they complain because, when you provide a resizable widget on Honeycomb, it gets pixellated at 8x8 (or whatever). And given how sensitive Market sales are to comments & ratings, you can't just ignore these complaints, Nor can you engage with the user and explain why that's not a good idea; Market comments don't work that way. So Dianne, if you want to keep devs from abusing appwidgets, go talk to the Market folks and convince them to improve the comment system. :^) . . . I may still open an issue on b.android.com, but not to get this 1MB limit lifted. I'd be happy just to see the limit documented, and better behavior when it's broken, rather than the cryptic !!!
