Dianne, In the blog post can you cover how to produce one app which will run on cupcake and donut and support multiple resolutions.
As I understand things at the moment developers will need at least two versions of the same app listed in Market to cover both bases; One with minSDK="4" and the supports-screens manifest tag and a separate one for cupcake devices because cupcake won't run apps with minSDK > 3. If there is also a lite & paid for version you're then into 4 app listings for the same app (lite, paid-for, multi-resolution lite, multi-resolution paid-for), which seems like its' going to be a it of a pain. Thanks, Al.
