They are *not* for resolutions. They are for screen densities (i.e.
the number of pixels per inch on the screen).

To illustrate this point, the Nexus One and the Dell Streak both have
screens with a resolution of 800x480 pixels, but because the Nexus One
has a smaler physical screen it has a hight pixel density, so the
Nexus One uses assets from drawable-hdpi and the Dell Streak uses
assets from drawable-mdpi.
