As Windows Mobile Stumbles, Which Smartphone OS Will Seize the Lead?

We take a look at the enterprise and consumer prospects for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian and Palm's WebOS (and yes, WinMo, too).

The smartphone is a relatively new arrival on the mobile technology scene, yet there are quite a few companies testing the waters. Historically relegated to the enterprise market, today's smartphones are beginning to cross over into the consumer space. Companies are advertising smartphones in the mainstream, and this is fanning the flames of consumer awareness. As more consumers make the shift away from simple feature phones, handset markets and carriers have continued to introduce new options to meet surging demand. So, whether you're a consumer, a company desiring to capitalize on the hot market or an enterprise buyer looking to bring smartphones to your staff, it is important to understand the platforms currently driving the products of today.
