there is no reason to test on devices running Android 2.3 or earlier. You can pretty safely ignore devices running anything earlier than 2.3 but ignoring 2.3 right now just cuts out way too much of the market, unfortunately. Third party libraries like ActionBarSherlock and HoloEverywhere make it possible to provide most of the modern Android experience on 2.3 but learning how to use them presents another hurdle that beginning Android developers shouldn't have to leap. I'd like to see Google provide much stronger leadership in this regard.
