Same here. Mobile platforms are immensely important. If you can't 
cater for them, people will soon ask questions (users don't 
understand why xyz is not available for mobiles, and they don't 
need to). So the lack of support for ARM and the like is really a 
big big drawback.
One of the applications we are developing will need a web based 
solution for mobile phones, tablets etc. It would be nicer, and 
users will finally want an app they can install locally without 
having to refer to the "cloud" (mind you, the network is not 
always available).
I think the importance of this cannot be underestimated, and 
coming back to the point, this will put young people off, because 
a lot of young people are into (mobile) app development.
