I'm not sure that I understand how the switch to 64-bit will further the fragmentation of Android. I would have thought that the Dalvik JIT would be ported to a 64-bit processor and the issue would be done. Short of running an application which requires more than 4GB of memory, why would a developer care if her code was running on a 32-bit or 64-bit processor?

I don't follow the mobile space, so I'm probably missing something.
