Hmmm that's a pretty big assumption to make, mr clark. Take the g1--- assume a full screen app 320x480. Now assume some future phone with a 200x200 screen. You cant take full advantage of a fixed full screen app on the 200x200 screen as well as you can on the 320x480. Sure-- your app can start up and say "oh wow your phone can't run this", but that's not very ideal. You can't code your application to take advantage of all possible screen dimensions/touch capacity/ accelerometer patterns in the future.
heck--- What happens when the first multi touch Android phone comes out, and people want to make apps leveraging that as the core aspect of how the app works such that it wouldn't be degradable to single touch? That should be allowable--- and handled better than a message in the app comment: "ONLY WORKS WITH MULTI TOUCH". I'm hoping there is some manner of a filter--- checklist or not--- that lists what pieces of hardware/hardware requirements your app will require to filter it on the market. Downloading/installing an app only to have it say "Sorry, your phone won't work with this." is not a very graceful way of handling it at all. I like how I can control what countries my applications can show up in---- why shouldn't I be able to control what hardware pieces they end up in?:) ~Evil Mushroom Lord Mushroom Wars: The Splatting Featured on the Android Market now! http://www.android.com/market/paid.html#app=thesplatting On Apr 15, 8:06 pm, clark <[email protected]> wrote: > If developers did things right and did not make assumptions as to the > hardware their apps would be running on, then it should work.
