In recent years, smart phones gradually become one important part of the entire mobile phone market. Many companies, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Symbian, and Palm, try to play the dominating roles in this market as Operating System Distributors. In this project, we perform numerical analysis and evaluations in a user point of view and have conclusions that which operating systems might be the best fit for specific user groups.
