Experiences in Fragmentation

One way to handle multiple versions of the mobile software is by maintaining versions. and again for each manufacturer and model ....maintaining versions. and again for each feature adding versions and then again for each bug fix, versions....

Instead of all this , there is one more way that will help in debugging problems. ..when packing the code., also let the source code be put into the jar file / executable. that way it is easy to track the problem on a case by case basis., rather than having to maintain a  heavy server side code version repository.

so what you will be having at the server side is the latest working version for a manufacturer/model of the product which has all the feautures. but sometimes it is not that easy too...

There is no silver bullet for any solution. Intention: money,ego Nothing can ever be frozen in the software field. selling to endusers or companies? illegal software masquerading as legal. security  problem of browser. geting access to one pc on corporate lan. what data of yours is available on social networking sites can be used to create a personalized attack on you. compromise a website/page that has active users. rest attack. get control of a system and use it for further attacks using botnet software. vendors who do lots of different things are rarely best at anything. ad companies are evil. dat files or signature files. if there are no thieves, the police has no job. if there is no one to buy, the one who sells is out of job. what is ...
