I think it is clear, when you write a whole, complete rendering engine that doesn&apos;t use the android stack, you&apos;ll eventually have to deal with different screensizes, input methods, etc.&lt;p&gt;Most apps i use have been running on my G1 from day 1 and now on Android 2.2 on the Nexus One and i&apos;ve had no big problems between android 1.5, 1.6, 2.1 and 2.2.&lt;p&gt;I guess the only thing for games to remain relatively platform independent is to use another intermediate layer (to substitute for a not used android &quot;layer&quot;) like the unity3d engine.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Android developer on Slashdot detailing the Android &quot;fragmentation&quot;</title><url>http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1671914&amp;cid=32426078</url><text></text></story>
