I think lots of these thingies are ARM-based, and while you could probably port ScummVM to one of those, it won't work right out of the box.
(read: someone will need to put a lot of time and effort into getting ScummVM even to run on one such device, and I don't see that happening)

Shame....i thought perhaps the same scumm VM for the ipod touch screen could be applied to this?

Does it run the same operating system as the iPod Touch?

Good question....could that be found out by buying it?

The only thing you would see is that it doesn't use the iPod Touch OS. I don't think Apple wants to license it.
When a device accepts third party software, it will be documented on the official site, and you'll need some kind of SDK for that device.
The most probable answer is that those clone makers won't worry about third party applications, so you'll be out of luck.
