Yes I did.  Thank you.  I simply missed the reference to cell-phones.
I don't think of my app as requiring cell-phone capability (it's a
spread sheet), so I tend to completely forget about it and not
consciously reference any cell-phone aspect of a webpage or discussion
since it's barely relevant to my app.  The app only needs the
associated permission because it's possible to dial a phone number
directly from a spreadsheet in my app, but obviously, by no means does
that extra capability prevent the app from being useful on android
nonphone devices (and it's such a tiny inconsequential feature I
totally forget it's even in there).

I'll look into how to make that permission or feature "optional" so it
still appears in the market on nonphone devices.

Thanks.
