I like Ubuntu and, unlike their mobility aspirations, I think they have a chance here. Android may be interesting for Smart TVs, but Ubuntu's Unity UI has its own advantages. Canonical is a smaller company and it should be easier for some manufacturers to reach an agreement with them rather than with Google.
Hybrid Free/Non-Free solutions like these are exactly what the market needs. Although it's not the full freedom we want, hopefully someday at least hybrid software will be powering most devices, unlike the Micro$oft-powered world we have today.
