Originally the HD version was "tablet only", it would not let you install on a phone, which goes against what Android stands for. An app should be able to adapt to multiple devices. And guess what? If you extracted the tablet APK from your tablet and installed it on your phone, it worked just fine (I did that), meaning that their "Tablet only" was a scam to get people to buy the tablet only even if they already had the phone one.

I understand that people get ticked off, now the "tablet only" version is actually phone compatible too, so they could have done that from the very beginning. It is one thing to make an update and ask to pay for it, another to try to scam people into buying 2 versions because you've temporarily disabled support for a section of the market.
