Indeed - even though there a some issues to be taken into account (screensize 
etc). I fully agree with you.

I have a (huge) application developed for any kind of device - with a really 
long product livecycle - which was initially designed to support multiple 
screen sizes as well as different mobile devices (tablets and such) and I see 
absolutely no reason for not using this approach. Especially in case where the 
usability and way of usage are defined off the default road: i.e. having an 
application private style and usage metaphors.
