iPhone :P. The reason is simple - people don't go out and buy a
platform, they want a phone that rocks. Of course, a foss-phone is cool,
but I think an open mobile platform won't take off for the same reason
that desktop Linux didn't take off - regular people just don't care.
They simply want something that looks nice and works well enough. For a
more irreverent take on this, refer to what Fake Steve Jobs has to say :

P.S: Warning - some of the folks here might find FSJ's blog close to
offensive - he calls us "freetards" :D.
