+1 I think we really need more data. I know that in Marcel's case, there's the Asia-Pacific customer, but I have no idea how big that customer base is. The only numbers I have are the Play Store. and I think the same thing goes for iOS and the App Store. In Android's case, there's a lot of third-party manufacturers who don't pass CTS. I personally don't want to support any android device that can't pass CTS (that includes the Android emulator), since that means that we're supporting a new platform that may or may not be Android-like.
At least with iOS, we know that iOS has no weird surprises like SDK classes not existing.
