>the year of the Linux handheld.

Android achieved that many years ago.



Android is based on Linux but it's still not open source, got a lot of closed source stuff on top of it. I wouldn't exactly call it "Linux" which generally means GNU/Linux


Android is as much Linux as it is SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini bottom. It runs Linux, but Linux is not its OS.
