Android developers can now choose what devices to support

Google now allows Android developers to dictate what type of APK (Android Package) is distributed to device owners. Up until now, every APK was the same no matter what device downloaded it. Tablet owners would get the same APK as smartphone owners, high-end smartphones would get the same APK as low-end smartphones and so on. Now developers can upload multiple APKs for an application. This effectively helps to eliminate fragmentation on some level.
Developers can now produce several APKs under a single listing in the Android Market. Each separate APK can be designed to cater to a specific type of Android device. Developers can dictate the APKs by screen size, software version or whatever other criteria developers choose.
For customers, this means they will automatically get the best version of an app as possible. It may not seem like a big deal, but this will provide users with benefits that they won’t even see.
