Good question. I think much depends on whether Android will live up to 
its promise of being a genuine open-source OS, and Google, Inc. will not 
try to hijack it in some way. I've already heard from an aggrieved user 
who laments ever installing Google Chrome on his computer. (He runs 
Windows.) He says the instance of Google Chrome abruptly destroyed his 
installation of Mozilla Firefox. When he then tried to reinstall it, 
Google Chrome said he was about to install an application infected with 
a dangerous virus. Now I've heard of deliberate FUD-mongering, but this 
is the limit.

And the relevancy? Google wrote Android.

Don't ask me about Windows for Smartphones, or iOS (for the iPhone and 
iPad). You probably would advise parental judgment for anyone looking to 
read my answer.

Here's another possibility: maybe the place of Fedora, in this future 
world of Cloud-centric computing, Desktop as a Service, back-end 
word-processing, back-end data storage, and the like, is that Fedora 
will run the servers on private clouds. Anyone from a multinational 
enterprise to a non-profit charity or even a political activist group 
will try to build their own Cloud, to offer the convenience of mobile 
computing with the security of traditional private desktops.
