This is a good question, but I think that is the point of android. Software allows the same applications to be run on each phone. The front end development of android will be the same for each phone... applications will just check to verify you satisfy the requirements. For example, if a phone comes out with no accelerometer... then you wont be able to download those applications.
The way that the back-end will work in code with the phone hardware is all handled by android and isnt important... as long as the functions/ api continue to stay the same.
