Well, if we REALLY start nitpicking there's plenty of devices that run Linux, it is just that they are lacking GNU/Linux.

I'm talking of course of Android; down under where it matters (kernel, filesystems, device stacks) it is through and through Linux all the way. It is just the userland that is lacking; the versatile and beautiful glibc & GNU toolchains is replaced with braindead bionic and its ilk.
