The most annoying part is the number of good mobile OSs we have already lost over the years to these two; Symbian, BB10, Windows Phone, and WebOS come to mind just off the top of my head. Not to mention the projects that have struggled for traction like Mozilla OS and Ubuntu Touch.
Edit: I misremembered, it was called Firefox OS, not Mozilla OS.
WebOS was nice
I still have my palm pre and boot it up now and then even though it will only connect to wifi, it was a wonderful phone and OS. I'm just so fucking mad at how that all went down and every time I turn on my LG TV and see WebOS it legit hurts
Synergy was magical!
Maemo/meego was better than all those IMO. It still half lives on in sailfish but had Nokia not been burned it could've been a true Goliath that could compete.
