I agree that our target market should be the users rather than the technical
community.  Only one of the strategies identifies a target group of users,
and then it defines this group in part through technologies rather than
characteristics of the users.

Focussing on mobile users is for me a good strategy, and will encompass the
interoperability (horrible word) and interfaces which I think important.
