FWIW,we (Android team) have been running 2.1 on our personal phones for weeks/months and we use apps from Market, etc. It is very possible that some apps are affected by changes in 2.1 but there can be two reasons to this: - the app was relying on a faulty behavior pre-2.1 and we fixed that behavior - we've introduced bugs in 2.1, in which case you should report them
However, there are no known major compatibility issues I am aware of. On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 5:44 PM, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > What backward compatibility issue?
