I suggest keeping an eye on the OLPC hardware as a low-end hardware
benchmark for the GNOME desktop.  As for "market share" there are over
2 million XO-1 and XO-1.5 out there and AFAICT the ARM based XO-1.75
is shipping and the touchscreen enabled XO-4 (in may ways similar to
the XO-1.75) is on the way soon (FWIW ,I like the prototype I test
on).

OLPC builds are dual boot in Sugar and GNOME and I would love for
GNOME to consider these users in their decision making.

Just a thought about a large definable "community segment" where
hardware is tightly defined.
