Android was made by a company far smaller then Canonical. Canonical's OS and Android share the same Linux heritage. Canonical has proved it is able of writing a window manager. Linux is pretty advanced to support low power mobile devices. I'd say that Canonical stand a very good chance, as they stand on top of all the Android work done so far. Edit: Anyway, Smartphone is the new desktop for 80% of users
