Linux is so portable that if a team of developers dedicated themselves to making a Linux port for a Sony phone it would be very possible. They just need to program the radi stack, bluetooth stack, proper low level hardware drivers and so on, so not porbable yes, but it is absolutley possible. |

Exactly what I said...Linux is being used as a base for the Android OS coming out for smart phones. Although Smartphones are generally more capable, Linux can be stripped down enough to run on low hardware specs. |

Linux can run and even tho most basic specs, I used to have a DVD player that ran on linux! had ftp server on it (hacked) and shell access (hacked) with full access to the player controls.
