Which has got more potential? Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android or iPhone OS?

To you people who claim OSX, have you ever looked through a developer forum in your life, or are you simply saying this because you are an apple fanboy?
The reason i say this, is in Apples developer guide, they specify two points:
#1. The iphone will not multitask third party applications. No other smartphone on the planet cannot multitask.
#2. No apps will be allowed in the Itunes App Store that resemble or mimic Apple's official apps. You will never see a better internet browser, youll never see a video player that can play avi or mpeg files.
Finally, you cannot install an application on OSX that isnt in itunes without hacking the device!
Out of the OS given, OSX by far has the least potential.
The most potential is with android because it is a fully open source operating system. Open source operating systems will always be the best because there is no limit on what you can do with it. Instead of 3 engineers sitting in a room fixing problems, you have the potential for millions of people fixing issues, or refining features. Being said, Nokia, the sole owner of symbian now, has talked about moving it to an open source. If this is accomplished, then symbian would have the most potential, as nokia is by far the largest cell phone manufacturer in the world. They own 46% of the world market followed by samsung with 14%.
Windows mobile is plagued with issues on reliability and unless you own a wm phone, you will not understand that its limited.
Feature wise, its a very close tie between windows mobile and symbian. The phones that have these OS are very similar specd.
The most advanced is windows mobile. 100% of all symbian (s60 for example) OS phones have the same user interface. This is not the case with windows mobile. Windows allows the company to use a interface in which they design. The most notable case of this is with the htc touch pro.
Better overall is subjective. I personally am a fan of symbian s60 because ive never had a crash on any of the s60 phones ive owned. Ive had third party applications crash, but this is not the fault of the OS. The looks of the OS are very boring though, and you do not have many customizations like you do with WM.
On the developer side, OSX is a popular operating system in the united states, and no one is denying that it is growing at outstanding rates. If you are a developer, then writing an app for OSX is a must because of the growth of the phone.
Android is slowly starting to get out there, and there are about 3 phones in the world, only 1 is available in the united states, that run it. There are rumors that motorola is planning an android based phone, and that might be the major tipping point. Motorola has lost massive amounts of business in the last few years, but if they succeed with andorid, android will be the new name in smartphone operating systems.

Well the most explored & exploited option so far has easily been the iPhone OS (Mac OS X mobile). It kinda set the standard that Android currently follows & that Windows Mobile & Symbian didn't utilize prior.
i would have to say android. iphone is very close behind though. windows mobile and symbian are starting to get old and have nothing new to offer. i think that android is the best overall because of its more open source style and its ease of use. the iphone is good also, but it tends to have many bugs, which causes many firmware updates. android has its things in good order. easy to use. and android can be put on any type of phone, not just touchscreen ones, unlike iphone OS. android is the newest and most stable also.
