In Mobile, Diversity Is The New Fragmentation

As a result of the explosive growth of the mobile industry, one of the main issues facing stakeholders has been fragmentation. But as we look to our multi-device future, today’s “fragmentation” will become tomorrow’s “diversity.”
In this diverse future, consumers are presented with and making device decisions on a situational basis -tablets best for videos, smartphones best for research/shopping, ereaders for reading & IPTV’s for family entertainment.
For marketers & developers, reaching the new multi-device consumer means taking a diaspora of device diversity into account. But how do you target a consumer when dealing with the diversity of device screensize, capabilities (GPS, Sensors, Cameras, Audio, etc.), Javascript functionality, processor speed, connection sconnection speed, available storage, user settings?
