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?

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.

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.

Really... boasting about file syncing...
Check Dropbox... Anyone can have it and also customize what is sync on what device + share specific folders with other dropbox users

If it doesn't glitter and taste like BACON then it don't count. I use and dev [a bit] on Android and feel that because it is open [for a given value of open] it is allowed to be the most innovative. But it still doesn't include free BACON samiches

By closing everything off Apple are stifling innovation, regardless of what they can or will do themselves.
True innovation comes from giving as many as possible the possibility to do anything.
