Until some major manufacturer starts using one of the Linux distros, I really do not see it happening.
I recall when Android first came out, I was thinking it was not going to make it.
However, Google did a couple of things to get manufacturers on board.
One was they did all the development on it, and making it free to use. That saves a a lot of money for the manufacturer. Meanwhile Microsoft was charging for their Windows Mobile.
Also, they held a contest for best Android app, with the top prize around of 8 million USD, if I am not mistaken. That caused a hoard of people to get onboard for that.
