This is hardly a problem that's unique to Android. Like I mentioned before, the i* platform already has 2 resolutions to support and almost certainly will have a 3rd shortly. If the i* platform is offering a better long term solution than what the Android API's currently offer, I'd love to see a link to more information about it. The whole "fragmentation" thing, at least in terms of API's and developer issues, is more of a talking point than a reality.

If you consider rotation, the iPhone currently has 4 resolutions and will soon have 6. There's also the expanded green status bar during calls, a red one during voice recording, and another color for background VoIP apps in 4.0 -- so it'll really be 12 resolutions. The real difference is that with iPOS, Apple doesn't expect developers to automatically handle new device resolutions, and no developer expects to not be informed of new resolutions. Android developers are expected to use fluid layouts, and don't expect to be able to keep up with the release of new and customized devices by a bevy of semi-incompetent manufacturers.
