This isn't a specific question, but I wanted to get some feedback before we
start using the new features in the 3.1 API.
Since the percentage of Palm owners that actually have a device running 3.1
is small, it seems like it would be a bad idea for apps to require 3.1.
Even so, there are some new features in 3.1 that are very attractive from a
programming stand-point, so it is in the developer's best interest to use
them. How do we balance this out?
I don't like the idea of checking to see if feature X exists, and using it
if it does, or otherwise coding around the missing feature. This would
bloat the code and we are all striving to make small, efficient apps. The
option of #ifdef'ing everything and releasing multiple versions of the same
program is not very appealing either, as it is tedious and confusing for the
users.
Is there another approach that is more appetizing?
