At present yout choice is really between maemo5 and nitdroid. Hopefully MeeGo will add to them, possibly with the Cordia user interface; it isn't ready by now, though.

Wouldn't ChromiumOS be easy to boot? All you need is an image.

I haven't been able to find an image of Chromium OS for ARM yet. If anyone can, I'll attempt a port.

For SHR, see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywkWbb_BetI The video is quite old, but you can get the idea. Most hardware components are already working, telephony is under heavy work now. See some recent news here: http://blog.shr-project.org/
