Google's Android is a smartphone operating system – most users are well aware of that. Fewer, however, are aware that it's built around the Linux kernel – the "core" of the system, which establishes the communication between the hardware and software of the device. Since the kernel is open-source, developers are free to modify it for whatever they wish the operating system to run on.
The device used in the clip is a Texas Instruments nSpire CX – a smart calculator reminiscent of a feature phone. It does run its own OS, which can already be used for document viewing and editing, image insertion, graph creation, and other complex actions.
