A few month ago I got quite an uptick in sales when I submitted an update that was compiled on 2.2 instead of 2.2.1. That might look different in the meantime but I wonder if the old rule still applies, like, go down as far as you can.
Also, as visible in the other threads, piracy is starting to be more than annoying. I thought I read repeatedly that it is harder to jailbreak 2.2.1, which leads me to: if the penetration is strong enough and it makes it harder for pirates, that could be a good target to compile for. Plus, I could continue with just one sdk and xcode install... 
Opinions?
Thx,

Well... Apple says - if your app is not compiled with 3.0 sdk after 3.0 is released they reserve the right to remove your app from the appstore and since you can't submit without compiling with 3.0 sdk I guess that answers the question... 2.2.1 is the lowest you can go at this point if you're doing an update or submitting a new app... Any thoughts about lower versions would then be irrelevant?
I'm not sure about this myself (if it's the case that 2.2.1 is the lowest you can go since I haven't had time to look into it...) - but if you say that's the lowest you can go in 3.0 sdk then I guess that's the lowest you can go...
