Thanks for the insight. I personally have yet to have any issues running on any devices, but most of what I'm doing is internal to our company and doesn't have a very large user base. Also, our code is pretty standalone from the OS itself.

Regardless, there's always going to be the issue of supporting multiple devices, but I have found that if I develop in the 'perfect' environment first, it speeds development time considerably. It's akin to web development against standards. I feel very sorry for the developers (if there are any left, this used to be accepted practice) who developed for Internet Explorer, and then had to cobble in "support" for other browsers. In much the same vain, it's easier to work against the best possible outcome, and then revisit your code for the edge cases.

I don't know, or have any numbers to know whether or not the Galaxy S2 is 'edge' or not, as I'm guessing it's quite popular. :-\ Sorry.
