I may be late on this one (I never saw it before) but I just noticed that the marketplace has a new Application Compatibility Warning prompt which alerts the user if the application isn’t compatible with his device or uses hardware capabilities that are not present on the handsets. As you can see in the picture above and below the official Foursquare application apparently requires a camera which my Samsung Omnia 7 obviously doesn’t have !? …. No worries though as I’m running the Mango Beta 2 so these kinds of small bugs are expected.
Once the first Mango device with Front Facing cameras like the Samsung SGH-i937 and Gyros ship the Windows Phone ecosystem will officially start to be a tiny bit fragmented. just like iOS (but a far cry from the mess that is currently Android).
PSA: People should really look up the definition of “fragmentation”. Seriously…every platform in the world is in some way fragmented..not only Android…
