It depends on how you look at it. Ideally, one should write apps that can be used without a touch screen, to make it easy to adapt to such devices in the future... in practice, you don't need to worry about non-touch Android compatible devices for a while, though I can't say how long that will be. Whenever that does happen, it will be the same situation as QVGA where no existing apps are delivered to the device until they are updated to report they support non-touch UI. But nobody knows when (or really even if) that will happen.
