I don't think I want to be that discouraging. Windows Mobile (or at least Windows CE 2003) runs on ARM processors which are operating in little endian mode. Do Linux smartphones use ARM in little endian? If they use big endian (which is a sane byte order) then the project is a non-starter.
Lots of nasty problems just aren't there. No printers. No clipboard (or at least not as much use of one). Windows CE does differ from WIN32API but it is mainly a subset. In particular Windows CE is completely unicode. Also all of that calling convention rubbish (__cdecl etc) is simply not there. Most of the differences actually move in a POSIX direction (particularly socket support). Just to encourage the developers - ARM assembler is really nice to work with.
