What Hacker News says?
Solaris hasn't been scaled down to cellphones, but remember that today's cellphone is yesterday's high performance workstation. A Raspberry Pi outperforms a SPARCStation20: http://eschatologist.net/blog/?p=266 Windows also used to scale down quite well; I'd love to know how much really was common between NT and CE.

HN discussionDoes a Sun SparcStation 2 count? By today's standards it is pretty feeble (a small percentage of the power of a Raspberry Pi) - but it sure didn't feel that way at the time! http://eschatologist.net/blog/?p=266 I occasionally think about trying to find one and installing NeWS & HyperNeWS to see if it really was a nice as I remember.
