Smartphone OS debates... who really cares?

Microsoft vs. Symbian vs. Palm vs. Linux vs. SavaJe vs. whatever.

If a developer is interested in the OS running on its phone, does the end-user really care ? I am not really sure. At least for the time being.

Dean Bubley writes "It doesn't matter if 2008's coolest phone runs on FORTRAN or has a dozen monkeys with abacuses inside it. People will buy it [..] because it's cool. And therefore operators will clamour to sell it, irrespective of their internal goals to reduce the number of OS's they support."

A lot of people do care... I'll never buy a non-symbian phone
