I guess it's due to small screen resolution as you suggested.

I think that to support small screen resolutions the project needs to be using 
a SDK version higher than the current 1.5 platform, which I'm reluctant to do 
because I'd like to keep the code as compatible as possible with old devices 
(I'own an Android 1.6 device myself).

Upgrading the SDK version while keeping compatibility with older devices is 
painful to do as you can't rely on compilation errors anymore to tell you if 
your code will run on older devices...

App seems to work fine.
I have installed it using appbrain. 
Just please update supported resolution in market, no need to upgrade sdk or 
anything. 
Resolution is 240 x 320.

As far as I know the <supports-screens> manifest tag has been introduced in SDK 
1.6
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6.html#AndroidManifest

So I don't see how I can update small screen support without upgrading the SDK 
level ?

Well ok, I can live with it.

Sorry ;-/ The market share of 1.5 devices seems to have considerably decreased 
in the past few month, so I guess I'll update the SDK level one day or another, 
allowing the app. to be listed on small screen devices.
