This is where you make a huge mistake and Google IMHO excels. Google does not display applications in the Market that are not designed for your API in effect giving you a store that should have very close to 100% compatibility. Albeit you can have minor issues if the subversion is different such as 1.50 vs 1.53 but these issues are minor and so uncommon that they are virtually nonexistent.
Operating Systems

Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices 636

snydeq writes "Galen Gruman writes about the dark side of the recent flood of Android smartphones: versions run amok. 'That flood of options should be a good thing — but it's not. In fact, it's a self-destruction derby in action, as phones come out with different versions of the Android OS, with no clear upgrade strategy for either the operating system or the applications users have installed, and with inconsistent deployment of core features. In short, the Android platform is turning out not to be a platform at all, but merely a starting point for a universe of incompatible devices,' Gruman writes. 'This mess leaves developers and users in an unstable position, as each new Android device adds another variation and compatibility question.' In the end, Google's naive approach to open sourcing Android may in fact be precipitating this free-for-all — one that might ultimately turn off both end-users and developers alike." As reader donberryman points out, you can even put Android onto some Windows Mobile phones, now.

#1 Actually in an increasing number of states there are anti bullying laws. In addition if we're going to suspend certain rights of students there should also be protection for those students to compensate especially in a minor/adult student/teacher relationship.
#2 If there are supposedly 'plenty of avenues available' could you please name one that doesn't involve one of the teachers work friends/fellow union members? Additionally what if the student disliked the teacher disagreed with his/her methods but did not feel the teachers actions were objectionable on it's own to remove or censure said teacher?
