I argue that this issue is a fundamental trait of the way the android

Do you really want Android Market application submissions to include
some kind of testing and approval process?
Perhaps they would check that the UI is sufficiently pretty, as well?
And sometimes reject applications with explanations that seem
unsatisfactory?
Perhaps as well, Google should r
But why would he develop it, when he has absolutely no guarantee of
the necessary support from Google to get it deployed?
This is exactly why Lorenz is right to suggest that this is something
Google should do: because only Google is in the perfect marketing
position to make sure the tool actually

If you're only considering methods available in the API you're probably
right. However, if you're the one writing an OS you're not restricted to
only use API calls ;-) Even thought I haven't spent too much time looking
around, there are a few things I was thinking of:

As I said, I thought about it. For an individual developer trying to
introduce something like this I see the following problems:

You are cordially invited to develop an engine that performs

I don't agree. While I agree with this not being an issue with Android in
general, I do think this should adressed by Google using Google Market in
some way.
The reason why a lot of users prefer the iPhone to Android devices is that
"everything is just easy" on IOS devices. People shouldn't hav
Google did publish guidelines saying, in short, "don't poll too often:
it kills battery life". Unfortunately, it didn't seem to occur to
anyone at Google that the users are at the mercy of developers who
ignore common-sense guidelines like this one.
However, there is a company that has done someth

Again, not sure that's Google's problem. Write
Data traffic itself is not the problem. Get used to it. It's a fact of

The real problem is that most networks have crappy coverage. This

I agree with Dan... This isn't Google's problem. The developers should be
more responsible, but Google shouldn't be imposing more restrictions. One
of the reasons why Android is so much better than iPhone is its openness and
ability to do more than the iPhone.
I agree that battery life is a prob

Can't users just see what uses so much of their battery life by having
a look at the settings 'Battery use' and decide what they want to do
about it (like contacting a developer about it or tweaking the
settings of this app)?
