Runner-up: MeeGo

With the death of Maemo, the abandonment of MeeGo and the discontinuation of webOS, the obvious winner this year is Android with 80% of the vote. MeeGo takes enough of the remaining vote to get our runner-up spot, but it's a bitter prize, as MeeGo's future looks pretty bleak. Will Android get another open-source competitor? Will the lack of open competition stifle Android innovation? Only time will tell. For current Linux-based handsets, however, Google's Android truly can say, "All your base are belong to us."
