They're in a tough spot. They need to "skip" a generation, if they have any hope of survival. Things are moving toward web/html5 tech and that is the future. Not now, but in a few years. All of the direct-hardware-access stuff is being worked on right now. Even now, you can build metro/Windows 8 apps using html5. There's Firefox OS. WebOS is barely alive, but still kicking. And, of course, there's the simple argument that the most important and popular app on both iOS and Android is the web browser.
