Default Data on new application platforms publishers plan to support in 2011

Just got this in the e-mail yesterday:

============================
New application platforms is defined as platforms that were not previously supported by publishers.

Android: 29%
iPad: 20%
WP7: 20%
RIM: 12%
iPhone: 12%
Symbian: 6%
Palm: 4%

Source: MobileMix Nov 2010.

============================

Given the reaction of Chuq after the Epocrates situation and this new set of data, developer relations needs a hard, swift kick in the pants. Based on the data, it seems that the acquisition by HP and promises of new hardware are not spurring the developer community to start developing Palm apps.

Not enough apps in the catalog? Well, the apps suit my needs just fine.

You're on your 3rd replacement? My launch day Pre never had a problem.

WebOS = potential
