Firefox's mobile OS for making decent, fast smartphones affordable in the developing world. I think this is going to have a big impact and it's going to be the catalyst for html5 as a serious gaming and application platform.

Ubuntu's mobile version for being the next big step in making the PC obsolete, I don't think this will have a huge commercial impact but it's got some great potential and we're going to learn a lot from it.

+1 for Firefox OS.

Hope they can take advantage of learnings from Androids mistakes primarily fragmentation. I'll be rooting for them.
