Well, feature parity, means things should perform the same on Android as on
iOS. Which turns out not to be a good thing in this case.
I am, of course, not serious about this.

That is one of the problems with resizing controls based only on the size of
the screen and not on the resolution of the device and not also changing the
placement of controls based on the resolution of the device.
For most apps the size of controls (and text) should remain the same when going
Also, for some layouts when changing Orientation only the widths of controls
may need to change based on the LAYOUT but not the height or text size.
Trying to find one solution for all of these scenarios is not going to happen.
Especially if you are using native controls (real or faked).

Thanks Tom,
you are right of course. I watched the tutorial and the resize tool makes it
very tempting to design one app for all devices, but I will be better of with
building an ipad and a iphone app and change the layout upon change in the
orientation.
