Back in the day, I had a Samsung phone with Android 2.2.1 phone.  It 
definitely had a Linux feel, especially when I installed Scripting Layer 
for Android (SL4A) and Perl (other languages also available):

I suggest looking for an Android developer community and learning what 
those people do with their Android devices.  Along the way, you might 
want to set up a computer with the Android development tool chain.
