Developing for Android phones, what phone to develop to?

Meaning would it be safest in terms of speed/performance by using the HTC G1/Dream running 2.1 be the ideal platform to build to?

Also in the same vein, if I'm animating and/or timing, how to make sure all animation/performance will be the same on all phones? I suppose I could tie animation to clock but what about other performance actions?

thanks. -An开发者_如何学Pythondroid newbie.

They are nearly all the same. To my mind the difference lies in the screens (size and density). Of course the processor may differ sometimes. I also use HTC G1 to develop to and havn'te encountered difficulties yet. I think ALL animation and performance will never be the same, because all the phones differ, so you will never know how it will work on slower phones.
