Samsung approval and Thai fonts
Is it really impossible for Thai people to read their alphabet when some single gaps will be filled in? Latin alphabet I use every day has evolved through the ages in countless different fonts and shapes, from handwriting, Gothic fonts, print characters, to graffiti. And I'm able to read all of them, just like most people in the world. So why people of Thailand couldn't understand single word when I use custom font with filled gaps? Or maybe that is just another odd invention of Samsung testers? My Zombie Eliminator was removed from Thai Samsung Apps Catalog because, as they said, "Font is not good in Thailand". Why you couldn't understand this ('original' word above, and red mark on the screenshot made by Samsung Content Inspector):
...when Latin alphabet is totally understandable for me and rest of the world, even with filled gaps (like 'o' or 'p'):

Zombie Eliminator & Real Decision Ball on bada
My Zombie Eliminator (first mobile game in 16 languages, available on Palm Pre & Pixi, Android & Samsung bada) was today on place 20. (out of near 1800) in 'top 50 paid apps' in Chinese Samsung Apps Store, 32. in Italian & Mexican, 44. in Australian and 46. in Turkish. I feel gently honored:).

And my other App, Real Decision Ball (also on Palm Pre & Pixi, Android & Samsung bada) is now number 3 in Mexican Market.

Adapting to newer devices
After PRE, the next device introduced by PALM was called PIXI. It's one big mystery why newer, more complex and forward-looking device has smaller screen size than its predecessor. Nowadays, when mobiles has all the time more and more additional goodies, it's at least not really clever. But if we want to get to the widest audience our apps need to be flexible. Because I was anxious at the time, I chose the simplest way to run my Zombie Eliminator also on Pixi - I just make 80px height 'dead zone' on the bottom. It is visible on PRE and hidden on PIXI. Simple & working.

I recommend also nice art about Effective Design for Multiple Screen Sizes by Bryan Rieger at Mobi forge.
