That's a hard question. Even in the desktop software business one has to pick the new platforms and drop the old ones just to survive, unfortunately. Mobile world is much more fragmented, which makes the problem even worse. And many of these platforms are closed solutions, so there are cases when it is not even possible for us to update the software/firmware unilaterally.

It would have been nice to have a handful of standard mobile platforms, but that would commoditize the mobile hardware, so there is resistance to that...
