After watching a number of videos on the Motorola droid, I can see Android 2 is quite powerful and adds a lot of functionality. I can see Google is really working hard to push it out there, and it is undenyable that we are seeing a big number of devices adopting this operating system, which can only help it forward.
However, my opinion is that eventually one of the two main "open" projects will have to eat the market of the other, as I donīt see enough revenue in researching and developing these small yet powerful devices unless sales are good. Aside from that, the iPhone is very well positioned and popular now, so I think one of these two will have an easier time eating share market from the other than from the iPhone (even if Motorola is clearly aiming at Appleīs throat)
Anyways, which of the two OSīs (Maemo and Android, of course) future looks brighter to you? Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, so which one you see stronger and better positioned for the future?
My vote goes for Android, if only for the huge set of applications Google has out there, as well as for those still to come, and obviously because of its masterful marketing tactics.
