Android keeps being a work in progress. Releases after releases that offer incremental updates and improvement. Because of that, compatibility goes out the window, and you have unfortunate ones that are stuck with stale food (aka old versions) that cannot update. If you cannot update, then the marketplace is useless, since now you have to go by platform. This apps works on 1.6, this one 2.1 only. This app works on this device and not that device. Don't believe me? Ask Rovio, the Angry Birds developer who basically admitted that they won't be able to get it working on all android version.
Care to clarify more? If android keep giving compatibility problems, there wont be people buying new devices and let a lone more developers embracing Android SDK for the past 365days. This is what Rovio said here : http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/angry-...blems-20101119/
-"With our latest update, we worked hard to bring Angry Birds to even more Android devices. Despite our efforts, we were unsuccessful in delivering optimal performance."
-The 17 now-unsupported devices, as well as a general exclaimer regarding custom ROMs and Android 1.5 owners will be unable to use the current official version of Angry Birds.
-Rovio made changes to their game that increased the required resources to an unnecessary level
-this has nothing at all to do with fragmentation, but rather a mistake on Rovio’s part that is being corrected in the form of a lightweight version
You are giving twisted facts.

Oic... got any apps which works like that where only 2.1 able to run but 2.2 , 2.3 and all newer iteration will crash? By the way, if there are apps which works on 2.1 but wont be working on 1.6, i dont think developers even give a damn to this issue. versions older than 2.1 is way lesser and users who still using 1.6 or 1.5 might be those 2years+ budget phone users which i dont think they give a damn much on apps that extend.
Please stop posting twisted facts, this is the last thing we need in tech forum. Steve Jobs made twisted facts on Android to divert buyers away from buying Android phones and he really earns more $ by saying twisted facts, but you didnt.

Nokia is top sales in low and mid end segment.
Thats true if they just polish up Symbian and continue to use it for low and mid end market. But we all know what will happen once Nokia kick Symbian out from their face. Nokia is top sales in low and mid end segment.
