Second, This topic is to discuss the best mobile OS between Android, WP7, and iOS.

I personally like Windows phone because metroUI is sleek, social networking features are streets ahead of Apple, and it's integrated with xBox live. It's also easiest for me to make my own apps for.

I don't like Android because I think it's clunky but I can see it's value to some, because of it's customizable-ness and it has a large app marketplace.

iOS is, to me, just bandwagon apple fanboy fodder 192381038 apps mean nothing if they're all duplicates that do the same thing. Oh boy! another flashlight app!

Seriously. Any important app is more than likely available on all systems, or just on android.

To me it has to be iOS. I prefer the UI and the deisgn, I find it simple to use however I do like andriod devices, but I used dreamboard to try out andriod and windows phone themes homescreens just to get a feel for them and I didnt like them as much as the iOS one.

I did have a jailbroken iOS 5.1.1 and I loved it, the amount of custimization you had was perfect for me. But I had to exchange my iphone with apple and got an ios 6 one, still the system I love just I couldnt do as much as I liked.

All in all, I say iOS due to;
The quality of service apple gives you - when i was at the apple store I was serviced right away and had a new phone withing 10 minutes.
Bugs - You dont find them or at least often, I never have had any issues aside from a couple of app crashes but I do have a 3GS
The UI - I find it very easy to navigate, if you have never used an apple product before, you can use very easily.


But as I said, I probably dont have all the information i could have to make this decision.

I would have to go with IOS here, only because I'm used to it, and have gotten to love it's features more. It does have it's downfaults though, and I'm interested in a Windows Phone.

Android has capability of Java. Java consumes a lot of power. It's a great phone for customization but when using apps not designed in C++; your battery will die quickly. It also has a high rate of viruses.

Windows phone. Metro style. XNA capable. Direct X capable for C++ programmers who integrate their work with Microsoft's library. Silverlight is allowed therefore you are creating applications that don't consume massive amounts of power when in comparison to java. Windows phone is still vulnerable because it's easy for 3rd party applications to be installed. It however is fast and reliable.

Apple devices. Virus free, user friendly. Expensive. Requires C-Objective programming to develop applications and games. Requires a Mac computer to develop. 100 dollar license to sell applications or games. (Same as Microsoft). Devices tend to have a poor battery life, especially when running applications in the background. They update too often. Very little customization.

End run. Android is a good experimental phone. Windows phone is good for those who want a reliable device that goods for social networking. Apple devices are good for a very stable device and have the money to afford more apps. You are however paying for a very basic setup that's easy to learn and understand.

In terms.

Apple = Beginner level low level knowledge required
Windows phone = Intermediate level, low to medium knowledge required (or time on your hands to adjust)
Android = Intermediate level, low to medium knowledge

That's from my personal views.

I would say Android just for the fact that its basically an unlocked OS right out of the box. IOS is great as well, but requires tampering before you can really sink your teeth into it. Never really found a windows phone that fun. Sure the UI looks cool, but there's barely any usability and customization. At least from my experience.

Android is a good OS because of the level of customization it has and not forgetting that it is open source so more and more updates and features can be added by pretty much anyone. I don't like Windows phone for the lack of support its been getting. Right now the android market is booming.So is the Appstore. Then you see Windows...

Android, because it's the most customisable and rapidly developed mobile operating system.
