    Also, keep in mind that mobile access is becoming the dominant way in which people interact with the web and that tablets will outsell desktops this year.

    You should take a look at this guy: http://www.lukew.com/ff/ - there are screen sizes from 3.5" all the way to 27" and you can even start counting smart TVs (seriously, there's a phone at 3.5, 4.2, 4.5, 6, 7.3 and 8 and probably more I don't know about)... you should design around your content and create an engaging experience for your USERS rather than focus on the features of your interface.

    20% of all americans don't have access to the Internet at all. 35% of people in the US don’t have Internet access at home. 59% of Americans who make less than $30,000 (low-income) have no Internet access at home. 88% of Americans without a high school diploma don’t have Internet access at home. At the same time, 88% of people have a mobile phone. The number of people that use their phone to access the Internet went from 31% (2009) to 55% (2012)... design for reach rather than rich media very few people have access to.

    You need to think about the users and what you're trying to communicate, and educate your clients that asking for "comps" is just a waste of their money, there are no screens left to design for.
