Over the last few years the mobile OS industry has, for all intents and purposes, become a two horse race. The first is Apples iOS, which really started the mobile technology race when it debuted in the original iPhone, and made powerful mobile technology available the the masses. The second is Google's Android OS which had a slow start, but backed by most of the powerhouses in the mobile industry like Samsung, HTC and Motorola has quickly taken off to become the most popular smartphone OS in the world. Some might argue that Blackberry and Nokia are also forces to be contended with but in the last year we saw RIM fail with every new phone they released and Nokia throw in the towel on its aging Symbian OS. Unlike RIM which decided to work on developing its own next-gen OS, Nokia chose to adopt Windows Phone 7, Microsoft's mobile OS.
