My understanding of go is that it was designed for highly parallelized tasks like servers. That doesnt really seem like a good fit for a handset os.

It has a small memory footprint which would be great on a mobile device. Also, the entire dev cycle would be much improved. The Java/Dalvik cycle with the emulator is slow.

Also the great concurrency model would be nice to handle the ever-growing number of inputs (and outputs) mobile apps have to deal with.
