Designing for various technologies is key today, even Google does it.. ignoring them is lost money on mobile/portable devices, each has a market value, each just as strong as the next, even if it's small.

Lost money is spending years building a platform for every device and that doesn't even take into account all the new handsets hitting the stores in the future! The point i was making but feel you missed is to look at where you traffic is then see what devices are most popular in that region then create a solution for them. Once up and running use you data to extend your supported handsets list. The way you guys are pushing this is you will fail if you don't cover every handset which is NOT true! Do you think a guy with a nokia 3310 will spend x amount on content every week... i don't think so if he cant afford to upgrade his phone is he the customer you are going after!
Not every technology is key today some of these handsets will come and go will you be spending $$$ making these work on your platform... Google have the man power to go after them all but 99% of people here don't!
