Diversity is a reality and will likely persist, causing us to decide which platforms(and consequently users) are “worthy” of our design time.

We’re already seeing some designers choose to only design for the newest or most powerful platforms as these (apparently) provide the very best experience (e.g gestures, performance etc).

Do you feel this a realistic approach or simply a cop out?

How do we reconcile inclusion and accessibility with the need to providea great user experience?

What defines context when designing for connected devices?

Is it the device itself (e.g. a tablet, a smartphone, an eReader), or the very act of being mobile?

Or is it something different altogether?
