I see several possible markets for this:
* Mobile device manufacturers who want an 'unbiased' alternative to Android and Google TV, so as to reduce their dependence on Google and transition away from a variety of marginal dead-end proprietary platforms that will be difficult to maintain and extend in the long run.
* Governments and corporations that have standardized on Ubuntu for desktops and laptops and would derive many benefits from using the same platform and administrative tools (e.g., Landscape) on tablets and mobile phones.
* Emerging vendors who want to bring to market new consumer devices and home-automation systems and would want an independent software platform that is easily extensible (e.g., Control4's products are built atop Ubuntu).
* Individuals and other entities who could take advantage of a full, unfettered, 100% Free GNU/Linux stack on their mobile devices. (If it works well, I, for one, would at least try it.)
