Android developers (or mobile devs in general) - Is there an acceptable amount of user sessions that can experience errors? I am looking at about 98.5% of sessions experience 0 errors and obviously I want to bring that number higher. But I am curious about other mobile devs experience and what might be considered industry standard. thoughts?

Review & Rating Systems Suck [rant]

I have always felt that reviews and ratings are meaningless. In my experience, whenever I leave a review it is because I either had the most amazing time in my life or it was the worst experience ever and I would never wish that upon any other living creature. I’ts only natural for me to believe that others act in the same way. 
The system is broken because you never get a normal opinion of the subject. This week, Hashable has been featured on the Android market and I have to say that I am pretty surprised at all of the positive reviews. Not because the application doesn’t deserve them *pats back*, but because of how broken the Android Market (and any) review and rating system is. I’m hoping that some startup can swoop in and disrupt the process and actually make it meaningful. Until then I’ll stick with Foursquare tips (for restos) and first hand recommendations.

Google IO Android Videos

Since going to Google IO in May, I have been trying to find time to go through all of the Android presentations that I missed while I was there. The presentations are a really great way to review the concepts that were new and also to pick up on any little tidbits you might have missed. I have been making a point to watch one or so a day.

Here’s a couple of play lists that has all of the Android Developer videos from Google IO 2010 & 2011. I deliberately created the order for this playlist from “most to least useful” (to me) and they are generally intended for advanced devs :
