It can run linux perfectly. Use such powerfull hardware to run an stupid and limited operating system like WinCE is put money on trash.
I have and old iPAQ running linux and there are no technical obstacles to put linux on any ARM-based PDA or mobile phone, only M$ marketing and money to convince hardware manufacturers.
