I disagree, it depends on if your definition of Linux is based on

a) does it use a linux kernel

If so any device that does, (like TIVO I think) can be considered a Linux device

b) if it embodies the ideas associated with Linux (openess)

For most people (regardless of what Linus thinks) Linux is b, not a.
