I guess life is slightly different when you can talk to a manufacturer and avoid Windows CE altogether.
Also, given that Android doesn't use many GNU libraries in userland, e.g. gcc, I didn't really consider it to be Linux. Therefore, as far as the Sugar stack went, I didn't realise that Android's API would be as flexible to support GTK+ libraries. Thanks for the corrections! Tim.
