Thanks Phil!

Indeed this is very strange. As I understand it, all Android 1.6 apps
should by default be visible to HTC Tattoo on the Android Market, and
use of the camera should not matter. I had even tested my app to show
OK on a 240x320 screen using the emulator, and cannot think of
anything else to correct. I was thinking of trying an empty <supports-
screens> element in case documentation is ambiguous, but even so it
would not seem to make sense to have the CAMERA dependency. Hopefully
HTC or Android developers (Romain?) will figure it out soon, because
this kind of market fragmentation seems unnecessary.
