But that's exactly the problem for developers. How many different devices are you willing to test on? Will your app's interface easily scale to all these different form factors?

A huge advantage of the iphone is that there's a single screen resolution to optimize for.

That can be checked in the emulator.

Honestly, I am just glad that if I make an Android app, it won't be rejected.

If the rumours are to be believed then that advantage will disappear this summer. The iPhone already comes with two different CPU speeds and soon it will have two different resolutions, so any advantage on that front is rapidly disappearing.

Daring Fireball points out that iPhones with double the resolution will be out soon.
