Not worth supporting. All of our own apps currently require 2.0 or later,
and I'm thinking of moving to 3.0 or later. (That gets you progress manager
and some other nice things)
There may be people out there with 1.x devices, but they are also likely to
be the same ones that don't use many 3rd party apps (or pay for them
anyway). And those that want to use your app can/should be able to find a
2.x or 3.x upgrade in the $50-$100 range. (Heck for 2.0, you should be able
to find those cheap from people that got the 3.0 upgrade and have a 2.0
left over)
