As long as you don't use private APIs you *should* be good (except for some minor permission changes.) That said, we fixed some bugs that may have some minor side effects. For instance, we changed the minimum size of some widgets in 1.5 that may impact on your layouts. This SDK contains both 1.1 and 1.5, so you should keep compiling your applications against Android 1.1 but test them on both 1.1 and 1.5 emulators.
