Since I believe the browser and apps are the future of most clients browser share was a small contributor in deciding whether to keep or return a device design

  The device design not working for you is understandable. It does have some unexpected/unusual quirks owing to it's form. But I still don't see the correlation between a single browser share and the fate of the client OS. With things such as the Browser Choice window for EU installs[1], it's understandable that the decoupling of IE from Windows would result in a market share decline for the browser. Even while declining, IE still has twice the browser share of Safari[2]. And although I can't find free aggregated stats that let you dice browser percentages by OS, my own analytics accounts show Chrome being roughly twice as popular on Macs than Safari. That doesn't mean OS X is doomed and everyone should move to Chromebooks...
