Android Fragmentation
So I bought an Acer Iconia tablet this week. Smoking deal at Target (about $370) - we are finally starting to see the prices fall in the tablet market. However, I was disappointed to see that Netflix isn't available yet on this tablet. They only support certain Android tablets. I understand the caution by Netflix, but this fragmentation of Android is a real concern for the ecosystem. When some apps run only on certain devices, you no longer have one ecosystem but a bunch of smaller, related ecosystems. Google needs to work to make it easier for app developers to just publish across devices without concern for the underlying hardware issues.
