Did you know that Motorola has announced several QVGA-based mass market devices? The Motorola CHARM and FLIPOUT, announced in the last few months, are bringing the Android experience to a new set of consumers.
Unfortunately, based on settings in the Android app manifest, not all of the existing applications in Android Market are available to these devices.
There are a few common reasons why your application may not show up in Android Market on CHARM or FLIPOUT:
1. These are QVGA devices which means the tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file must include smallScreens="true" for your application to appear in Android Market.
2. The 3-megapixel camera has a fixed focus and no flash. If your application requests the CAMERA permission with tag with android.hardware.camera. Otherwise, Android assumes your application uses all camera features, including autofocus and flash and will filter your application from these devices.
