Mobile Distribution of the Year
 

A new category last year. Which distribution do you think is best for your mobile device?

I wish I could vote in this poll, but I would have to admit that Android significantly failed to impress me so far.. I'd go with iOS anytime right now. With Android ICS we'll see what it does when Motorola release the update for my Razr..

I'm in love with android and all the things that i can do with this...!!!! :) :) :)

I was thinking mego but then mego did not apeal to me. Then came Android. Then I rooted it and now it feels like linux again - on my phone :)

Android, I like it !

Hello,

Installed CyanogenMod on my HTC Desire and it rocks!

Kind regards,

Eric

Unless there's something to CyanogenMod that I've missed, how can it be an alternative to Android? It's a custom ROM for Android is it not?

Will we add different linux kernel builds to the favourite distribution / favourite DE polls? :)

My N900 is surpassing my android devices by far ! (so +1 for maemo)

How about buildroot? I know its a HUGE stretch, but its a pretty impressive system.

buildroot is not a Mobile Distribution.

Correct in some ways. Cyanogen Mod is a "fork" of the Android Source. It's like comparing Ubuntu to vanilla Linux and the vanilla application sources (all default values, no patches, etc).

I went for webOS based purely on its potential. With Android increasingly mired in patent madness, webOS could easily become the choice for many handset manufacturers. Plus, my one encounter with an HP Touchpad showed just how good webOS is technically.

Yeah, I know. But its designed to aid in the development of mobile/embedded systems.

I would have to go with Android since I know little about the other choices.

CyanogenMod is great. Reminds me of the likes of XBMC.

I have android maemo and wm... without doubt maemo is the best... for me at least.

Android on my Wildfire S is just the dog's wotsits!

Android

+1 Maemo.

maemo works great...

Android is very easy to use for me

I'd like to say Tizen, but this is 2011. Some good things are looking its way for 2012 though. I'm excited to see what develops. Maemo +1 for now.

I am using android. :)

I love Android.

I think instead of cyanogenmod, you should just say Custom Roms because there are many Android users who use other roms other than cyanogenmod. Like for example MIUI Roms or any of the Virtuous Roms and many others. I am one of those users who uses Virtuous Rom on my android mobile.

To justify jeremy's choice, Cyanogen Mod is used as the base for most Roms. MIUI is one of them.

Well that's true, then Cyanogen Mod is my choice. Thanks for pointing out the obvious which i clearly over looked.

Android
 

Android.

I own and use Android, Maemo and iOS devices. And would rate the OSs in that order.
I love the idea of a "real" Linux-based mobile OS like in a desktop/server system.

Buying a MeeGo phone today is not an option for me (due to the direction Nokia has taken).
