Maybe not out of the box, but there are some interesting experiments. I had 
a rooted android phone, and was able to run a full distro in a chroot'ed 
jail, using Android's Linux kernel.

Ran VNC server in the Linux instance, and was able to run a full windows 
environment locally on the phone using an Android VNC client, or run it from 
my desktop. It was an interesting experiment in taking your environment with 
you.

I don't know if there's an RDP protocol server for Linux (I think there is), 
but that would be ideal - use any standard Windows environment to access a 
desktop environment that fits in your pocket...
