So it looks like Apple got their stuff together for this next release and it's not going to be a staggered release for AT&T and Verizon like it was for the iPhone 4. It's a shame, more Android phones could have been sold if they had. Guess I'd better get started working on programming for the iPhone as well in order to do a simultaneous release too!

Devices
There's so many more devices that I need to plan for than I had originally anticipated. I didn't know so many Android phones / tablets had come out in the last year.
Testing to make sure stuff comes up on all of them is going to be a pain. Hopefully tablets stick to 7 and 10 inch models.
I guess I'm going to have to include some sort of money-back if we can't get it to run on your Android device type of guarantee. With how painfully slow the new virtual device manager / emulator is, I'm probably going to have to test, at most, to see if something actually shows up on the test screen.
I wonder how other app makers do it.
Some questions about this for you all though:
How would you all feel if you bought a game for your phone and had to send an email to the creator to get something small fixed?
Would you bother doing it?
Would you prefer to just be able to get your money back?

Not all business
So, same as my other post for my body blog, I've noticed that I want to blog about more than just my business ideas. This is the other project I've been considering for this summer and onwards. I've got a love for old video games (mostly SNES games) and some of my best childhood memories are from having parties with my friends, playing Super Bomberman 3. It was one of the only games we had that took our 5-player adapter for the SNES and allowed us to play 5 player games. It was so awesome at the time.
This blog is going to cover me learning about how to use Android with the goal of making a game in the bomberman battle mode style. Ultimately, I'd like to release the game for cheap and allow up to 5 players to play battle mode multiplayer.
Many of the posts will probably about designing the game while I figure Android out, and only after a while will the blog turn to my game itself.
