I'd tread carefully with those comments if I were you. After the storm 
we've just seen they could ignite another round. I don't think it's fair 
to say we won't see phone specific momemtum again. Of course we will, 
but on a much broader system alongside features which benefit all 
platforms.I'm sure development will weave back and forth between them as 
needed.

Also nobody has said support on the existing system has ended. It is 
limited and there will be no new features but language like this may 
just cause a stampede!
