That's how it works. You can have only *one* version of an app. Your app's ID is determined by its package-name. The code in your app should be able to run on a phone with an OS equal to minSdkVersion or higher.
You can specify that your app only supports (i.e. runs on) a certain number of SDKs: minSdkVersion: Any user with a phone with an OS lower than this version, won't see the app in the Market and the OS won't allow it to be installed. targetSdkVersion: Tells the software that an OS equal to this version running the app, needs no 'compatibility' code to be able to run this app. maxSdkVersion: Any user with a phone with an OS higher than this version, won't see the app in the Market and the OS won't allow it to be installed.
