Supporting other pixel counts in the same screen size (i.e. about 120 to 240dpi on a 3" to 3.5" screen) is on the roadmap.
The current restrictions (screen size and pixel count) come respectively from the fact that the Android UI was designed for that screen size (as well as all existing applications), and that the implementation of the density-independence code isn't fully functional yet. The emulator can already show different pixel counts - support to emulate screen densities might not be fully working yet (I'm not sure).
