If you can install the respective gstreamer plugin, you should be able
to play Theora videos in most Linux smartphones.  I'm not aware of any
that ship with native support, gstreamer or not.

There is indeed a Linux on iPod project, but it's incredibly slow and
very likely won't be able to play Theora decently.

Ah, this is one I had forgotten.  I have a friend who has all his
(Vorbis) music collection in it.  I should ask him if he ever tried to
play Theora in it.  Small-res videos should in theory work just fine.

Expensive, and it's from Nokia who apparently dislikes Theora with no
basis other than "we invested too much in 3GPP you goddamn hippies!".

They work well, so do the XO from the OLPC project (I have one of
these).  However, Jason wasn't looking for laptops, I think.
