They target different processors but most have the same set of components from the same open source projects. Then at the very top of the stack the differences arise: - GUI libraries like GTK(+Hildon optionally), QT, Androids Java based library - browsers including several Firefox variants, Opera, Webkit - shipped applications for email, pim, media players... Also deploying the software on mobile device varies a lot more on the embedded field than on desktop linux.
