Diversity is a reality and will likely persist,causing us to decide which platforms breakout #1(and consequently users) are “worthy” ofour design time.We’re already seeing some designerschoose to only design for the newest ormost powerful platforms as these(apparently) provide the very bestexperience (e.g gestures, performance etc).Do you feel this a realistic approach orsimply a cop out?How do we reconcile inclusion andaccessibility with the need to providea great user experience? http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/plings/4727867959

so what we call ‘mobile context’ is increasingly hard to pin down
