Congrats to various teams that get linux runnable on all those architectures.
However the question is are they really useful on all those machines? For example, while my N800 is a really nice Linux machine, I could not use Linux effectively on my iPod (1st gen nano). Or having Fedora running on PS3 was nice, yet I could not do any actual work due to limited RAM (200MB).
Hacking is fun, but I believe we need more "practical" Linux machines (like N800, Eee), supported by bigger groups, on the market.
Edit: I've read (most) of the article, my examples were just the ones I actually used/tried.
