Thanks for pulling up that reference. FYI for others is that Google keeps the stats very up to date. Moving forward past 1.0.1 I think it would be a very good idea to get things moved to support level 16/4.1.x. However we should look at supporting API level 19 as soon as possible, since that single level currently gains us an additional 36.6% portion of the current Android market and more than doubles our device coverage. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
