I did not suggest that you are incapable of writing IOS apps, of course you
are. You simply seem to have chosen not to and have backed that up with some
of your reasons, well it's your call.

Yup! It is a question of balancing resources with requirements.


I do not see the business case for ignoring an entire (leading) market
segment, maybe you do?

I'll address iPhones with web-based apps. And maybe a generator like PhoneGap will be enough to create platform independent native applications.

But if it comes down to having to learn individual languages and platforms to support different platforms, I'll gladly support Android and drop support for iPhone. Android: open platform, open language (Java), open API. iPhone: closed platform, closed hardware, closed language, closed API. Not a tough decision.

Given infinite resources, perhaps I'd support them all. But given reality, it's Android all the way.
