FYI, for several weeks at my beginning of the development I believed that my app was fine with Android 1.5, because it ran fine in the emulator, while it was regularly crashing on 1.5 devices (nothing special depending on hardware, such as GPS: it was just an icon resource placed in an improper way). This also caused my ratings to start with a wonderful "1 star - it crashes on my phone" that isn't precisely the best way to present yourself to the world.
