Indeed. Wished this had been documented earlier to avoid a half-broken app. Virtually all the problems with my released app were caused by undocumented issues like these. Ever since I know it I can live with it by simply not counting on preview sizing. > Preview positioning works today on Cupcake and should work on the > current G1 though I haven't test it. OK, sounds good. > Preview does not work correctly in portrait mode due to orientation issues > - we're discussing how best to solve that problem. Again I can live with it now that this is known as a fact. I just enforce landscape mode in my app. > We're also discussing how best to expose hardware capabilities with > OHA partners.

I consider this extremely important to prevent future code fragmentation and minimize incompatibilities in running apps on different phones. Thanks. Right now the best thing I can do for users in supporting still image formats is to add a dialog where they can fill in their preferred capture resolution (assuming users know what their phone supports), because my app cannot determine what the phone supports, so I set the dialog defaults to the current G1 camera resolution. Of course I'd rather have an API method that returns a list of supported resolutions, and the content of that list may then vary with brand and type of phone.
