Device compatibility checks rolling out to Android Market

Finally, Google is adding device compatibility checks to its mobile bazaar. This much-needed feature checks system requirements of an app you want to download against your device hardware and software information. As a result, you can tell whether that latest game or entertainment app supports your device before you download. This should also help eradicate problems with non-techies downloading programs that are not designed for their device or don’t run very well. The enhancement is being rolled out as we speak, AndroidCentral claims.
