I think that the big two here are ARM (for most applications Android
will be used for) and x86 for netbooks, etc. The older ARM cores are
still 32bit, but I can't see Android running on an ARM4 or ARM5 core -
but I've not really got the experience to tell you there, its just my
hunch from knowing what I know of those platforms.

Ooh, and I don't think it's possible to port Android to a 16bit MCU...
the Linux kernel is inherently 32Bit. Even if you could, I'm not sure
what the advantages would be as realistically it's only going to be
32bit platforms that are attractive.

Ooh, and to add my personal experience to this, I can confirm that
Android works nicely on the Asus EEE-7x series (x86)... and works well
from a USB stick on that platform. Not tried it on a full PC.
