Given what is in the pipeline by all the major manufactures and carriers, Android (for all it's positives and negatives) will be squeezing out both Windows Mobile and IPhone OS.
It is not about which one is the best mobile OS, it is about the fact that Android will mean that except for the Business level Blackberries and Palms, the low-end phones that are given away with contracts will be smart phones. The carriers only look at how much they can make and at this time iPhones and other business level phones cost a bunch compared to the Nokia/LG/Samsung/Motos/ that are given to subscribers. Android gives them a cheap phone that they can get into a lot more subscribers hands to make money.
