IMO i think Google's Android is the most innovative, and apart from tagging it the most innovative, i think it saved other industry giants (Samsung, Motorola.......so on) by making there Android platform open, else these industry giants would have had really hard time to compete with iPhone's iOS.

Personally I see the issue that they are all scriambling for patents so much to try and block each other from providing features that they all suffer because of it. 
If they were able to produce a product and implement anything in the UI's would be far superior.
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

Yeah mozilla tried to do a single API for phone applications, so instead of developing one for iphone and one for bberry. u just develop one app and it works on all. havent heard anything in a couple of months about it though

Google allow the user more freedom. With Tasker, I've transformed my Android phone into an Android Superphone. Google also announced interfaces between Android and Andruino making it the first Phone OS to embrace open-source hardware integration. Mix that with Tasker and I could basically make a robot that I can control around the house and interact to me plugging the headphones into my device... reading my text messages out loud or telling me that someone is actually calling on my phone.

Agreed. Whenever you hear the word 4G/LTE, you can be sure it is enabled by Android, which also brings every ARM SoC maker to the phone/tablet market.
Google/Android is furthering innovation the most.

I have a new Htc Titan, best phone I've had so far. Windows Phone UI is fantastic a breath of fresh air over the iPhone.

I agree, I have used iOS for few years now, and I still like the OS but it's same since few years now, no major changes anywhere.
then I tried Android which was almost same as iOS with few extra stuff, and I hated the bloatwares, and those stupid custom UI layers which you cant turn off.
finally I am using Windows Phone 7 on Dell Venue Pro, and I like the UI and overall OS expereince, integrated services within OS are the best. no more tap in - tap out. the cool thing is you dont have to download loads of apps to get going, because it comes with almost all the important services and apps.
My vote goes for Microsoft (...for now).

Also you get develop in *normal* languages with a excellent development platform to boot!

Got to agree with this, since getting a WP7 I love it and would be loath to move to anything else - great to develop for as well!

They've introduced the innovative feature this week of persistently failing to work.
It'll catch on.

I don't think they were the first to invent this feature.

Maybe not but the persistence of it is innovative indeed

Is someone an innovator because they develop the best product out there or are they an innovator because they created a market which is causing others to develop the best products? 
things that make you go hmmm...

Innovation
Definition 1: Taking the ideas of others and repackaging them into something "new", "productivity enhancing", and "entertaining"
Definition 2: Failing the creativity to even do the above, buying the competition and then killing the product.

Looking at all mobile OS's I don't feel that any of them is really innovative.
It's clear that some are way more popular than others but that usually has nothing to do with the inovation of the OS itself.
Look at the UI of Android vs iOS for instance... where's the innovation between them?
If you look at Windows Phone 8 you can say it kind of tries to innovate but clearly lack in community support.
RIM lost it completly. It's still holding to its proven but deprecated concept.
Nokia is desperatly trying to catch-up in almost any way possible but woke up way too late for that.
Today Android is the shiny new toy and Apply holds the looks troffy, making everyone want to have one of those even not having any use for them other than the phone functionality itself.
So i fyou ask me about innovation on mobile phones I go with Microsoft for not feeling old and not trying to mimmic anything else on the market.
Is it better? Will it succed?
Saddly enough, nowadays that has little to do with innovation

The question doesn't fit with the text.
"What smartphone OS manufacturer do you see as the most innovative?"
"which company do you feel is furthering innovation the most?"
In my answer I focused on the second line, but they don't (necessarily) mean the same thing.

Yes, and this is a common mistake.
Hardware is misjudged because of software and the other way around.
A good and that yes, innovative marketing campaign makes all the difference.

like Chris I focused on the "which company do you feel is furthering innovation the most?"
prior to the iPhone we had smart phones which allowed us to check our email and run whatever applications we stumbled across and were permitted to run on our iPhone.
when the iPhone came on to the scene we got iTunes, the App Store and the ability for developers across the world to deploy and profit from these devices. with this approach came the idea that the smartphone was so much more than what the manufacturer or wireless provider defined it to be. the community of developers and users started to take more control over giving it a definition.
since the iPhone we have had others come out with competing ideas (example Android) while at the same time we have Apple in its persistent fashion of pushing the barrier in consumer electronics.
the crown for furthering innovation belongs to Apple and the iOS (IMO) because every device we see is compared to it and how it ranks against it. all sorts of companies are trying to develop something better to win the battle against Apple and it's because of that reason why Apple wins in furthering innovation the most.
ok, I am done with the soap box who wants it now?

Something differs here, in terms of Mobile based innovation. Just think here we have small screen unlike Giant Screens we have with PCs. So its necessary to bring something innovative which makes it user friendly and which fits in small screen.
AlexCode wrote: If you look at Windows Phone 8 you can say it kind of tries to innovate but clearly
Clearly its failure.

Soon, they will be in category of dinosaurs while Nokia is already in that age unless they stick to Windows.

And they're catching up things smartly bringing every aspects that iOS have even some of them are new.AlexCode wrote: Microsoft for not feeling old and not trying to mimmic anything else on the market.
It would have been better if they have done something nearly similar.For my point of view UI is failure in terms of user friendly-ness.
