It is a difference if we are talking about existing user base and those who
would eventually buy the application. But if it will be a free app, then you
might be right. (Or I would rather say - I don't know.)
Another point - probability of infecting OS4 machines will certainly be
lower. Simply because of the way these handhelds are being used, weaker
communication capabilities, less space to experiment etc.
In summary, I believe you can afford less safety for OS4 handhelds.
