While I agree that feature (and syntax) parity is not (yet) achieved in 
liveCode (And why on earth do the mobile commands STILL throw errors in the 
IDE?) I disagree that it necessariely makes sense to run after a certain 
platform only because there are more devices sold. A broader market of devices 
to deploy to, not necessariely gives us better ROI. If the users buy the cheap 
devices, they are less likely to open the purse for apps (monetize via ads?) If 
we develop for business users, not end users (who are much more likely to open 
the purse for development / consulting) then we can expend only high end / 
prestige devices. 

While I know that many of you alreay deploy to mobile and some of you surely 
monetize there, I also still find too many hoops to jump through before I 
regard it as a viable platform.I certainly wish for a more optimized engine 
with syntax parity wherever possible. But with the current engine I would not 
bet my income on targeting on building liveCode apps for low end devices.

3 € cents (due to inflation)

All the best,

Malte
