First of all, it can be guessed that it requires a high-powered FPU for all the graphics scaling work. NONE of the current high-end WM/Android phones have one ESPECIALLY the ones that went with the Qualcomm MSM72xx. Not only that, but having a FPU enabled OS is nice, and WM isn't one in CE5 nor CE6. Currently, the iPhone has the best CPU, GPU (2D+3D), and FPU available with an OS built with FPU-enabled GCC, sadly we have to admit. Then, there's eyes. iPhone has the App Store, and #1 popularity besides being current #2? phone in the world market. There is no better platform to deliver all that R&D for Seadragon.
