[android-developers] Re: "Designed for tablets" with both minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion tags?

I agree that we can't just ignore the older OS versions. I think they mean
targetSdkVersion is declared with value 11 or higher  or
minSdkVersion is declared with value 11 or higher.
So minSdkVersion is declared with value 11 or higher is not required, but if you for instance add minSdkVersion = 9, the app won't be approved for"Designed for tablets".

So what am I supposed to do? If I remove minSdkVersion, there will be no filtering our of devices with uncompatible OS's.
People can then download the app without getting it to work on their device. Is this the price I have to pay to get approved for "Designed for tablets"?
Or is there any way to have both minSdkVersion = 9 and targetSdkVersion=11 in the manifest?

I am implementing the new "Designed for tablets" specification on GP. It is easy to implement and get it to work for live wallpapers. I replace <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> with <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="11" /> in the manifest. I wonder if there is any way of having both of the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion tags in the manifest? I get a message that the app is not "Designed for tablets" when I try to include both of these tags.
