+1 Roger, +1 Pierre. On the first one, Roger, I completely agree, MORE SEAMLESS cross-platform, more attention to Android (and Win 10, etc.) is important, even if it's only because it says to the rest of the world "Cross-platform for realises". I also agree with Pierre on where the investment goes. We're doing most of our work, right now, on iOS, so that's mostly what I'm paying folks to extend. I would bet that Monte is responding to demand, because if I said "Hey, Monte, I want blah, blah, blah for Android", I would get it. Right now it's "Hey, I want blah, blah, blah for iOS", so, <harp strum/>, I get blah, blah, blah for iOS.
