Designing such an engine for anything else (eg android) is questionable but showing a closed building isn't very promising either.
I think it's possible that you would see this on a platform with required minimum. Similar to how Gingerbread (Android 3.0) seems to have minimum required specs to use it.That and things like the PSP Phone running Android are going be pushing gaming.

And don't forget you also have Microsoft working on some kind of game playing XBOX LIVE Arcade for their Windows Phone 7 (again by specifying a minimum hardware spec).

But anyway it makes sense to target the iPhone first. Standard hardware with a sizable userbase.
