Google Preps Devs For One-Size-Fits-All Android

Posted by Soulskill on from the ways-in-which-operating-systems-are-like-sweatpants dept.

alphadogg writes "Google is preparing Android developers for the latest edition of its Android mobile operating platform that will work the same on both tablets and smartphones. Scott Main, the lead tech writer for Google's Android Developers Blog, reminded developers on Monday that the newest edition of Android — dubbed 'Ice Cream Sandwich' — will 'support big screens, small screens and everything in between.' Main also emphasized that Android would maintain 'the same version ... on all screen sizes' going forward."

    I've decided that /. gives you moderator points to shut you up, since you can't comment and moderate the same topic...

    I will not be silenced!

    (please mod this down)

      It took you until now to realize this? I've been set unwilling to moderate for years. This is possibly the biggest flaw in moderation. If you know what you're talking about, you can moderate, or you can comment, but you can't do both, and if you don't spend your mod points, they go away. It encourages both shitty moderation and people not to talk about things they know about.

      And when you post AC after modding, the mods you made are rolled back (and lost).
