I'll have to stand in Dianne's side in this case. As some of you may
have noted a while back I took the time to ensure one of my apps was
"Google TV ready" as in fully working without a touch screen. For
everything except the map it took a whole of two lines of code per

I am sorry it is undocumented. But it is there, and you can use it starting
with 2.0 and later.

Um. People. Google TV does not have Market on it. This didn't happen by
accident. The platform isn't yet ready to give apps and their users a good
experience on such devices. You know, a deliberate decision to not cause
unreasonable pain for developers. As has been the case at pretty much eve

into a single apk, which needs touchscreen for the phone, would the
app be excluded by the market for tv devices because they don't have
touchscreens ?
Yes until the tv sdk is released I won't know.

What do you mean what?
Your phone touchscreen app will work fine with your touchscreen
phone. with luck your app should then be able to find your GoogleTV
