Yes, you really should update your app to either say it *knows* about
something more than 1.5 (through android:targetSdkVersion) or that it knows
about larger screens.

We have been talking about this stuff for well over a year.  I think it is
unlikely at this point to have a UI for users to be able to switch apps
between postage stamp and letter box, because that is a poorer experience
than one where the apps just do the right thing in the first place.  And
besides, it wouldn't help any existing tablets that are now shipping or will
soon.  If you care about the user experience here with your app, make it do
*something* reasonable.
