And Android runs a shit load of portable devices beyond phones.

Most handheld store scanners are Android based today. Inventory management devices (like warehouses have used since the nineties) used to be Palm-based, are largely Android now, because it's core is Linux. They don't have to run the standard Android shell, they can run their own.

I've used medical monitors that are Android based.
