Android, iPhone and now Windows Mobile 7 - What will you develop for?

As an app development company we will have to make a choice of what (who) to develop apps for.  At some point there has to be a judgement call made, will it be cost effective for us to develop for all 3 platforms?  Here’s just a couple of items we will consider when making these decisions:

Is the UI the same?  Will controlling our app be similar on all 3 platforms? (remember KISS)

Can we use the same graphics files on all systems?

Do all 3 platforms have the same user type? (gamers, day to day, enterprise, kids)

How will the Microsoft team regulate app deployment?

Can the application be profitable?

Only time will tell, at this time next year will BustedAppZ! be as excited about building for Windows Mobile 7 as we are to build for Android today?
