From my experience with several 1024x600 devices, most apps will look perfect, some will look weird, and almost none will not run at all.

An example of looking weird would be Google Reader, which only shows an article in a small portion of the screen, even though the feeds and labels lists are full screen.

Its poor programming. I and the company I work for make sure our software will run and look as best as possible on a variety of screen sizes larger than what is presently available. The emulator makes it simple to test and there really is no excuse for this.

Not to mention...developers will continue cranking out apps for Tablets. I imagine lots of current apps will be upgraded as well, there are devs already doing this as we speak.
