Japanese term or phrase: 新機軸性
I *think* this means the ability to run on several different platforms/devices. Can someone confirm the meaning and tell me what to call it? Context: "新機軸性を打ち出したラインナップ"

innovation, innovative
Explanation:
I'm not sure if this phrase only means what you mentioend (ability to run on multiple os/devices), though.

Please take a look at the link below. The term is used as in 「新機動性溢れる」.

Thanks! Come to think of it, I think I have seen this before. My admittedly insufficient checks of dictionaries only showed variations of "axis" and "axle," which obviously didn't make sense here. Thanks to you both!

innovative nature


Explanation:
This is a very common expression to talk up a new product. It simply says the product or service is "new", "fresh" and "innovative."
Also, you might check the meaning of the term 「機軸」 in a dictionary.
