Nathan,
Perhaps my use of the word simple was taken a little too literally. As I
said, I don't really have a grasp on Fragments yet, and if they work as well
as described I'll certainly go that route. I do have rather simplistic
Activities so maintaining those wouldn't be terribly difficult in my
situation, but the article TreKing linked to provided a lot of insight into
Fragments and really addressed some of the questions I had about them.
Definitely seems like the path to take.

I've always thought that simply maintaining two views

Simple?
I admire you for having such a thin, easily maintainable Activity. My
main activity is 3000 lines of code. Sure, it could and should be
less, but I see it doing a lot of things that should be done in an
activity - findingviews by id, responding to events, changing the
state of other views. There are lots of views in the hierarchy, and
onyl the activity can see them all.
For me, maintaining two activities would not be small.
If the fragements API is usable back to 1.6, Is your intention just to
maintain compatibility with 1.5? All that work for 3% of users when
you are primarily targeting tablets?
