I've written software for all the main platforms apart from BB. My rationale is: iOS is closed / walled garden. Windows Phone is closed / walled garden BB is closed / walled garden. Android is a fragmented, buggy shit tip of an environment and is mostly closed and uncertain. Symbian is pretty much dead. MeeGo is dead. Nokia S40 is still alive but I'll be fucked if I'm writing J2ME any more. --- Some positive indications of FireFox OS: It's open. It's easy to access it. The environment requires little proprietary knowledge i.e. deep specialist APIs and languages (no obj-c, WPF, XAML, that awful XML thing Android uses). License cost for hardware manufacturers will be very low if not free I imagine so uptake on carrier's own branded handsets might be high. As for catch up, I remember everyone complaining about how the original iPhone and Android phones didn't stand a chance against BB and Symbian...
