As Ms. Hackborn pointed out, there is no law requiring home screens to
support animations. *Any* home screen, whether written by a device
manufacturer or an independent developer, might elect to suppress your
animations (e.g., a PowerSaver brand home screen that specifically
disables certain things, like app widget animations, to save battery
life).

Hence, from your USP standpoint, you need to de-emphasize animations,
or point out that they work only with compliant home screens.
