Abstract

The article presents the results of a test conducted on smart phone operating systems. Based on the test, the two most impressive operating system are Apple's iPhone OS and Google's Android. Both are built for Internet-centric devices, both are functional and fun and both make extending a phone's capabilities with new applications extremely easy. Among the old-timers, the BlackBerry OS is doing a solid job of preserving the strengths that made the platform popular in the first place while keeping up with the times. In contrast, both Windows Mobile and S60 3rd Edition are aging badly.
