You're making tons of unnecessarily limiting assumptions about the segment a startup might be targeting. There are plenty of segments worth targeting beyond people who pay attention to startup and early-adopter news. They might require more thought and creativity to reach, but there's also less competition if you do reach them. And plenty of those segments (e.g. most Asian countries) are very "Android heavy". You shouldn't separate what to develop from the problem you're solving and the people that care about it. Imagine, for instance, your app helped people sending and receiving international remittances. You'd be dead-in-the-water without an Android app. The sending side might be more complicated (I'm not sure), but the receiving side is overwhelmingly Android, if they have a smartphone at all.
