Screen Density Categorization

[Cheryl Sedota]

I am doing an Android 2.1 platform build for a specific device, which
has a 7" 133dpi WVGA (480x800) screen.

According to my understanding of this information:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html
, Android ONLY provides density scaling for CATEGORIES of densities
(i.e. specific densities like 133dpi are not supported by Android AND
SHOULD NOT BE USED). The categories are:

DENSITY_LOW = 120 dpi
DENSITY_MEDIUM = 160 dpi
DENSITY_HIGH = 240 dpi

If my understanding is true, then I need to know whether or not 133dpi
should be considered DENSITY_LOW or DENSITY_MEDIUM. According to the
chart on this site: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
, large medium-density WVGA screens are between 4.8 and 5.5 inches.
Since my device is 7", I am thinking that I should categorize it as
DENSITY_LOW?

Please help :) Thanks!

That would sound like a low density screen.  Note that currently I believe this is not a configuration we are supporting for applications on Market.
