What Balwinder meant is that you want to start using the SDK 1.6 to make sure your apps are compatible with Android 1.6. You should keep your minSdkVersion to whatever is the minimum API supported by your app -- simply test them using an AVD based on the API level 4 to run the emulator using Android 1.6 . However, yes, if you try to publish an app using minSdkVersion=4 today on Market, nobody will be able to download it.
