(I'd say MeeGo is fine, but)

OpenMoko? How about WebOS?

OpenMoko was a great idea. It's more the HURD of mobile operating systems though.. A failure - it never worked well, was rewritten a thousand times and it sure seems to be dead.

Now, MeeGo could've started something new. But - here we're getting into the 'WTH did Nokia think' discussion. I'll leave this discussion to bergie, I guess.

WebOS is the sexiest option for me. It runs a real linux stack (like MeeGo), has a great UI (haven't used the N9, but before that I'd say it topped MeeGo and probably Android in most cases) and your applications are by and large web apps, written in JS (lately, using node.js).

If I could steer the market with my mind alone, I'd decide this to be the winner/future. Back to my Android now. Need to install another CM release..
