In many ways, using the compat framework makes me a little nervous. The ApiDemo I looked at had an overarching Activity that managed two fragments and while it was a simple example and only had a few "is landscape, do two fragments, else, do one", I can imagine a real world app being far more complicated to migrate to that model.
I'm curious how many have taken the approach of having both "modes" in one app. I would love to hear some experiences from having made this migration to the compat framework.
