They had version running on Android tablets out for months now.

Now they released version for phones.

You may be surprised that a number of apps for Android work only on tablets, while some others have separate versions for phones and tablets.

Sure, but that's not Android's fault. It would be like blaming Microsoft if developers released 'Windows 17" screen' and 'Windows 24" screen' versions of applications instead of just putting both UI layouts in the app and switching. Although I guess on Windows you have the 32bit and 64bit versions of applications available for download half the time...

Android actually makes it easier to do that (define custom UIs for different device settings) than any other platform I know of, so it's definitely the developers fault if you see that.

It's called "android market fragmentation", thus why they are indeed correct saying "Android Phone".

Ok, I don't know maybe it was a big deal in the past, but as an Android user for past 5 years and don't remember this affecting me at all.

I feel like it was some kind of FUD.
