As no one has responed to this issue yet, I shall try to explain it in more detail.
In order to DO make an app visible for e.g. the Galaxy Tab 10.1 model GT-P7500, one could put the following in the Manifest file: <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"/> In the app code, one could e.g. use the following too check what features are available: PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); boolean hasTelephony = pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEPHONY); However, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 model GT-P7500 returns a false on that method. The problem would be solved if there existed a constant like PackageManager.FEATURE_SMS or similar, but there is no such thing. I think that the Market is still not prepared for the type of products like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 model GT-P7500. Any ideas as to how I can solve this?
