Are iPad-class devices (such as the XO-3) or touchscreen devices (such
as the XO-1.75) counted as "mobile devices"?

Android (which may or may not mean that a "real" linux distro can be
installed).

Are developers using Sugar as their day-to-day development environment yet?

"Open to critique" isn't quite the same as "responsive to critique".
