Attention Android Developers: Update your Apps!
You have two weeks before Android 1.6 starts appearing on devices. Get busy, because your app might not work anymore. Google has officially launched Android 1.6 SDK, and the major impact for Android Market application developer is the Various Screen Resolution and Density Support. The latest SDK provides the support for different screen size, such as QVGA resolution. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to re-compile your application to become compatible with Android 1.6. Currently existing Google phones are all HVGA resolution devices (like T-Mobile G1, HTC Hero, Moto DEXT, and Samsung i7500 etc.), and most of applications will encounter some problems or difficulty when installing to the device with smaller screen.
