Exactly, as I noted in that post.

Later on in that post I described why most of the biggest names in the 
business continue to ship to both.

There are many ways to make money in software, and direct revenue from 
per-download licenses is only one of them.

Neither iOS nor Android is going away soon.  Doesn't seem all that 
controversial to expect parity support for them in a multi-platform tool 
like LiveCode.
