Thanks for your feedback.

Then the phrase "developer's web page" is incorrect and should be "app
web page" or something like that, otherwise nobody will click on the
link. But in any case if you can have links in the description, it
should be possible to click on them (once again, very odd that Google,
the inventor of the link, doesn't know that! - just kidding here ;)

You misunderstood. The current Market app filters out applications
that are not compatible with your device, and I'm not questioning this
mechanism of course. But it should be possible to have several
versions of the same app, targeting different sdk versions. That would
still be transparent for the users: they still would only see the one
specific to their device.
Currently it is not possible to publish two apps with the same name,
correct? So it is not possible to do that - you need to deal with
compatibility with trickery (introspection/method invocation, etc.)

I disagree. I receive my share of emails from people trying to report
problems, but usually they have no clue on how to help a developer. A
button "report a bug" on the app description / package manager, that
sends logs, would do the trick.


Anyway thanks everybody, I've just made a few modifications and I'll
probably make this public tomorrow - I will keep you posted.
