As more hardware is sold, software support will grow as well. Between phones and tablets selling millions of units, that should help software support. |
The formula is a little more complicated than that, as Android most dramatically demonstrates. Installed base isn't enough, you also need to make it easy and compelling for developers to get their code to customers, and for customers to part with their cash.
Microsoft's planned unification of Windows across all form factors may count for far more than an increased install base, but until that transition's complete the extra chaos is likely to put a damper on development for Microsoft's mobile offerings.
