2009 04 30 Temp Poll Result MobileOS Which mobile OS will survive?
Clemens Schuchert is well-known among German mobile computing heads – his PUGCast podcast has featured the Tamoggemon Content Network and its staff multiple times.

His latest field of activity is a large survey which looks at how device users perceive the future of various operating systems. Even though he has not quite reached the number of participants he needs for a statistically valid result, his findings so far are interesting:

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 is equal 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 for 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?

Let your readers tell us what they believe?

P.S. When asked about where the RIM OS was, I got the following reply from him:

BlackberryOS is considered in the poll, however it is not in the summary due to nill votings so far…

  1. No responses for Blackberry? That’s a ridiculously distorted sample pool. Based on that alone these numbers are worthless, literally without value.

  2. How can one say webOS will survive? It isnt’ released yet…

  3. webos is up to 34.4%

  4. Hi,
    after having looked at how it all went recently…I have to say that we probably need to retract this post…or at least post a disclaimer.

    Looks like Schuchert’s demographic reach is not as wide as I hoped…

    All the best
