Thanks ewing, that was a very informative and helpful response.
The 80% for 4.3/5.1 is quite compelling.
I might argue that tossing 1/5th of the potential market is still slightly questionable, especially for those who *can’t* upgrade beyond 4.2.1 (iPod touch/iPhone 3G). It’s one thing to get “you have to upgrade to run this program”, but another when you can’t do the upgrade at all beyond 4.2.1.
But as you say, combined with the fact that some of those 20% are probably *quite* old (not just 4.2.1), jailbroken, and adding in those development hassles you mention, I’m a bit more sympathetic to the decision, or at least understand the reasoning. 
I truly appreciate the response, official or not, it’s insightful and helpful, and indicates there are those at Ansca who listen. (It’s this type of responsiveness to, and communication with, the community that will hopefully help Corona stay ahead of the competition.)
Thanks, ewing.
