Clemens has sent in details of the first poll results received by PUGcast to see which mobile platform people expect to survive the longest. The results are no surprise except for the webOS score which is quite low.
“Today, I would like to present first results, which are interesting enough to think about.
Thus, until now, two third of you believe iPhoneOS to be the most future safe mobile operating system. This underlines Apple success of the iPhone introduction about 2 years ago.
Followed by Windows Mobile, which even more than the half of PUGcast readers believe to be the one to run future devices with.
Sybian and Android are equal at about 40 % and it’s hard to argue which one will succeed: Both are open source and address a huge developper community.
Surprisingly, Palm’s new webOS (the successor of 15 years old PalmOS), is only of interest of about one fourth of the readers, which leaves room for interpretation. Do people not believe in the new mobile operating system or do they simply do not know enough about it at this stage to argue about it’s future?”
Whither RIM/Blackberry??
VERY good point! I will ask Clemens where BlackBerry is???
