I think Canonical are determined to become financially viable. That means trying to generate a fairly high income stream somehow. I'm dubious about these deals with carriers/manufacturers but that is the direction they have decided to go in, rather than trying to do a Red Hat on server/virtualised support. I would quite like a phone that becomes a desktop OS when I dock it. If they can actually pull that one off I think a lot of people might get interested.
