Thanks for pulling up that reference. FYI for others is that Google 
keeps the stats very up to date.

Moving forward past 1.0.1 I think it would be a very good idea to get 
things moved to support level 16/4.1.x. However we should look at 
supporting API level 19 as soon as possible, since that single level 
currently gains us an additional 36.6% portion of the current Android 
market and more than doubles our device coverage.
