I was wondering if anyone had experience or thoughts on whether it's best (from an ease of development point of view) to make separate tablet and phone versions of an app, or bundle them into a single universal app.
I guess Honeycomb's Fragments API would suggest universality, but Google doesn't really seem to have its act together on porting Honeycomb to phones. My main worry, though, is that having to constantly check both the form factor and the OS version would lead to a complicated mess. With Maven, it might just be easier to build a common data/background/networking artifact and have separate UI artifacts. Then publish them as My App and My App XL. With the Android Market's filtering, you could make sure phones only see the regular version and Honeycomb tablets only see the XL version. Any thoughts?
