Next Great Upcoming Mobile Operating System?

Which will be the next great upcoming mobile operating system?

Here are the contenders!

A. Firefox OS

B. Tizen

C. Blackberry 10

D. Ubuntu Mobile

E. Other

At first thought, this question seems irrelevant. Android and iOS have it locked up right? Tell that to Blackberry and Nokia who at one time dominated the smartphone OS market. In their heyday, it was unthinkable that they would be surpassed.

So, the idea that the OS race is over is a problematic assumption. Innovation has not stood still. A new OS that can shake up the industry may appear at any time.

The top contenders are probably Ubuntu and Tizen. However, it depends on the OEM manufacturers. Will a major OEM embrace one of these operating systems? Of these two, Tizen is probably most dependent on this question. If Samsung really does adopt it as its chief OS, it could really shake up the OS market share numbers if Samsung leaves Android for Tizen. We shall see.

Who do you think will be the next great upcoming mobile operating system?
