Which Is The Best Mobile Operating System?

[John21smith]

In terms of features and durability, which is the best mobile operating system?

1- iOS
2- Android
3- Blackberry
4- Windows

It depends...

iOs is safe but very nannyish

Android is open, but that means it's compromised from a security standpoint

Blackberry is hardly used these days

Windows is familiar to PC users, but a bit of a bodge in the mobile version


You pays your money and makes your choice ...

I don't find Android very open. Not that I have experience of other OS. It has things I don't want and can't remove, and restrictions I find unacceptable but can't do anything about. Maybe once the warranty has run out I'll root the thing.

"best" can also depend what other devices you have got. It is probably good to try to stick to one standard operating system across many of your devices

For example if you already have an Apple computer or an iPad then and Apple smartphone with iOS is probably best for you.

But if you already have an Android device (tablet for example) then an Android smartphone is probably best.

Microsoft are still trying to sort out Windows on the various devices. I would not go for a Windows tablet or smartphone at the moment, but with Windows 10 due out later this year on all their devices (PC, tablet, smartphone, Xbox) that may be a possible solution.

As has been said, Blackberry is really a rank outsider.

Also consider the Apps that are written for the various mobile OS.

No point in going for the "best" mobile OS if there are no apps.

I think iOS has the most apps, with Android coming up a close second. Few people write for Windows mobile OS at the moment, and nobody writes for Blackberry OS.

Microsoft is a right mish-mash, they've really shot themselves in the foot, Blackberry is still associated with the old email days and is a dead dog.

That leaves IOS and Android - it's IOS for me, I like the fact that my phone and IPad both work in the same way.

Android every time for me!!

iOS is the best mobile operating system in regards to security, software updates.
