Another cause of an App not appearing for some devices can be that the developer hasn't adapted the App for that device. From the 1.6 on, you can explicitly configure the App descriptor for an App to work only in certain devices with determined min and max Android SDK versions, screen sizes and densities. For example I have released several apps and I had problems at the beginning because I hadn't explicitly allowed the App to run on small screens so my App didn't appear in HTC Tattoo devices Market. Recently I also had to modify my Apps descriptors to support SDK version 7 so the appear in Nexus Ones.
