agreed. web developers have been dealing with different sized monitors for years. yes, it's a pain, but they manage. mobile is no different. coming from a web dev background, it was natural for me to consider varying screen sizes, but i guess some mobile devs haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

IMO, this article leaves out the most important aspect of android fragmentation - manufacturer customizations. HTC's Sense and Motorola's Blur are the top two sources of headaches for my app, Unlock With WiFi. manufacturers like to change the way lockscreens work, and in the process they introduce bugs that i have to work around. for me, android fragmentation wouldn't be half as bad if all phones ran vanilla android.
