Based on personal experience you should test your program on a real device before you release. Interacting with your program through the device is very different than interacting with it through the emulator. The device screen is smaller, the keyboard (if there is one) is in a different location, screen orientation changes more frequently, and there may be bugs in your code than just don't show in the emulator but will lead to a "Force Close" on the device. There is a google group where you can upload your program for people to test on their devices.
