I would first want to code a pre-built PDA that already has an OS, then eventually as I learn enough, code an empty one from scratch. (And maybe even build one - Although that would take a lot of knowledge into hardware, I guess)
In that case see links posted in this thread, and look at recent threads "Handheld development" and "Android NDK".
Working on the "bare metal" is related to embedded system implementation. Most people these days use a pre-existing kernel, but there will always be market for people who understand how to port one of those to new hardware or- in extreme cases- write one from scratch. Been there done that (Modula-2 on top of ROMs written in assembler).
