> As a side note, it's important to know the difference in Android between "targeting" an SDK and what that has to do with the minimum supported Android version an app will run on. The short answer is nothing. If an app targets the Marshmallow SDK, it doesn't mean it will only run on Marshmallow, it means that the app is aware of the new features and can use them. Apps have a "target SDK version" and a "min SDK version"—basically the newest and oldest Android versions that an app supports. Any competent app will gracefully degrade on older Android versions. The amount of technical insight and accuracy in a this review does actually impress me. I believe stuff like this not to be common knowledge even among a more technical crowd like HN, yet there it is in a geek/consumer-oriented OS review.
