I am interested as well.

If I had a program that I was offering for sale, I would offer it to as many
platforms as possible not only to make as much money as possible, but to also
extend my user base. Word of mouth sales is the #1 sales tool in the world. The
more users, the more possibilities that your user base will extend. No one makes
money off the same 10 clients, but will off of the people those 10 clients bring
to you.

Why limit yourself to only a partial market?

The whole function of having an item for sale it to accomodate as many users as
possible, and if that means making it cross platform by all means do it.

That is almost like getting a banana split and only eating the ice cream.
Doesn't make much sense now does it?
