I think you missed my point; The only manufacturer who had announced a QVGA device (i.e. Kogan) has abandoned shipping it claiming that "One of the potential issues is the screen size and resolution", given this I doubt anyone else is going to start design and manufacture of a QVGA based device and so is it worth trying to support a resolution that isn't going to be used?

I had to make modifications to the AndAppStore client to include smaller icons to make it work on a QVGA screen, and the comments on the thread at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/16f0dcece645c57/065ad77d39d8d336?lnk=gst&q=QVGA#065ad77d39d8d336 (particularly joshvs'), I think QVGA is something that many developers may have already written off.
