So in each case, a single app can be designed to work well at different screensizes, or it can not be. That is down to the app creator. |

When I made made the comment about the aspect ratio of the screen I was remembering what was said in Apple vs. Android discussions regarding tablets. With phones, the argument for the size of the screen was that anything bigger the whole screen couldn't be comfortably reached with your fingers, right? |

If I had a 1.05bn judgment against me, I would want a new trial as well. What have they got to lose? Except if the next jury decides to up the ante if they lost again.

That's not how damages are supposed to be decided though, according to various sites covering the legal aspects, the damages should not be used as a punishment. Which it sounds like is exactly what that jury decided to use it as.

You probably wouldn't see it now, as Android tablets are so mainstream, and the OS has been updated to merge the phone and tablet interfaces, but it was certainly the case when I first got my Nook Color, when Android was very much still a phone OS running on tablets. Just as there were lots of iPhone-only apps when the iPad was first released, but they are uncommon now. The point being that it isn't an Android thing or an iOS thing, both OSs allow developers to produce apps that run at different screen sizes and aspect ratios, but it is up to the developers to actually code that support.
Androminium was one I remember, it just got a proper tablet UI update last month. |
