Linux doesn't run on those (only uCLinux), and I don't think WinCE
does.

Most user-interactive devices have one with an mmu anyway.


Yep, however if you want anything reasonably close to a PC
performance
wise, you're going to want to target an arm11 or above. arm9s have
serious restrictions on how the mmu/cpu cache works, and generally is
somewhat inefficient running systems with lots of address spaces
(context switches are pretty expensive).


Well it's what the OpenMoko FreeRunner uses:
