The 2012 smartphone/tablet OS poll

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

We are in the middle of a paradigm shift: More and more people are buying smartphones and/or tablets. For mobile computing, in some cases also to replace laptops.

Let's hear it from the Neowin community: Which smartphone and/or tablet OS are you going to use in 2012 (or are using already)? Or are you a traditionalist who stays away from those newfangled devices? Vote away.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I know Windows 7 isn't a mobile OS. I still included it since Windows 7 tablets are on sale.)

iOS and iOS. Windows 8 is going to be very interesting however, on the tablet, but until it is released iOS ftw.

Windows Phone and Windows 8, of course.

My second choice would be iOS.

Android? Never.

Windows 8 once it's released?

Ridiculous poll.

For smartphone, I voted Windows Phone 7, even though I've got an iPhone. :p Windows Phone 7 is an amazing improvement over v6, which I had on an HTC Touch Diamond before, and it was diabolical; they might as well have called it Windows 98 Smartphone Edition.

For tablets, I don't know too much about Windows 8 on tablets yet, so I voted other and go with WebOS, as it's not open-source, so expect a dev team similar to CyanogenMod over on Android to keep improving it. :)
