I'm not aware of a paper, but I'm familiar with some 'funky' devices and how they became products. For example Archos transitioned their portable media players from a BR2 built minimal µclibc custom user-space plus proprietary blob to Android with unique media playback qualities. They also never had physical android buttons but put them on the screen as virtual buttons. Intermediate steps were quite interesting as at some point they had a mix of both architectures going on. It is interesting to note that this all happened before Android on Tablets (or non-phone devices in general) was even a popular topic. As far as I know this also was commercially quite successful.
