I wonder how it'll work with regard to the "phones have the four hardware buttons, tablets don't" thing. Also: in the Apple world, many apps look/work very differently between their iPhone and iPad versions. Can anybody say anything about what guidance is given as far as when an Android app should "switch"? In other words: suppose I make an app that runs great on my 3.5" phone, then I make a more tablety version of the app that runs great on my 10" tablet... which version should run on a 5" or 7" screen?

Ideally, you should be using the various SDK options for handling various screen sizes and densities so that you don't have to care about what the actual size is. The SDK can handle a lot of the ambiguity for you. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support... http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/fragments.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/fragm... http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#AlternativeResources http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providin...
