John I tend to agree with you - and applaud the effort you've been doing with jQuery Mobile - but I also think the focus should be on mobile data usage, not device sales. In our case (and YMMV) mobile users are 80% iPhone, 10% Android and 10% everything else. That seems to be pretty par with most US-centric e-tailers. In addition the price-per-order on iPhone is much higher than the rest. Presumably because the experience on other devices doesn't lend to hanging around and buying stuff. Do we really want to develop for platforms that aren't there or for which the device handicaps the experience?

Mobile devices don't have the staying factor of desktop browsers (most users upgrade their phone/plan every 2-3 years). Shouldn't we target the best devices going forward to ensure that adoption of technology keeps up and everyone is entitled to the best experience overall?
