I'm not sure about anyone else but I just could not work out how to buy an app from SlideMe. It had steps that it wanted you to do from my desktop which isn't a big help when I'm on the bus! I was hoping they would make it big as paid apps aren't available on Android Market for my phone carrier.
My app has a small bug on QVGA devices (HTC Tattoo) but apart from that everything is OK. I've programmed for Windows Mobile before and I think Microsoft's new resolutions were well though out compared to Google's. If you take the original res (HVGA for Android and QVGA for WM) you'll see that Microsoft never made a res smaller than the res everyone was used to. I have no ides how they came up with 854 x 480. I'm also not happy about having to make a 2D icon when I had a nice 3D one that met the guidelines! :) On Nov 13, 11:42 pm, Kaj Bjurman <kaj.bjur...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can test Android 2.0 applications in the emulator.
