Hello All,

I would like to exclude smallScreens for an application that I'm
working on.  I understand how to do that - supports-screen tag should
set smallScreens to false.

My question is related to how that impacts the normalScreens devices.

For example, if I exclude smallScreens, what does that _actually_
mean?

According to Table 3 for the ScreensSupport Dev Guide, there is a
resolution for 480x640 that is considered a "small screen".
Here is the link...

I had the understanding that all QVGA class phones were considered
"small".  However, Table 3 seems to indicate that there is some
overlap between resolutions of small and normal screens.

If I exclude small screens, does that have a negative impact of
excluding some of the normal screens?  Or potentially not excluding
all of the small screens?  Or what?

Thanks in advance!

Other information...
I am targeting API 8, for many reasons, so some of the newer filters
will not work for me, I believe.
