* Have you ever tried Android 1.6 on a Samsung Galaxy then spent two minutes playing with a Nexus* If the author tries another HTC devise I'm sure he'll make this point more stronger. He seems to forget that although all these devices may run different versions of the same operating system, most manufacturers (except the Google-branded phone) customize the user experience. HTC has HTC Sense, Motorola has MOTOBLUR and Sony I guess has Mediascape and Timescape (Not sure about Sony tho). So as mentioned in the article instead of spending 3min just "spending 2min playing with a Nexus One", he might want to try out apps on it and dig out more than just staring at the home screens or the menus. It's all like the same necklace you see at different shops at different prices with a different gem color. And the Android market sorts out apps based on the minsdk setting specified by the app developer. So a developer can target devices easily. Also the Android SDK provides a way to use different images for different screen type (there's a drawable dir in the app's resources dir that does takes csre of this). The Android SDK and Market's architecture is well thought of. A lot of people actually curse the 24hr return policy of the market too. But it's very right. There's no need to provide a separate lite version if you don't feel so. Users can just buy the app, try out the full version, and return it if they aren't satisfied. Which is a safer bet than letting users think a thousand times if the app is worth the money, buy it and end up with a real crap app. Thus leaving the process of reviewing the app to the user.
