dding the Ubuntu or debian image (http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/a10_image/) to a 4GB microSD card should boot Linux in that device.

You may need to hack it a bit to make it work though, but information is available in the web.

Hopefully, we'll get stable images available soon.

They are using the Allwinner A10. You ought to have some luck: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ (See the source and kernel sections.)

How many Linux apps run on ARM? I actually don't know, but I assume the vast majority of them.

I work with embedded linux on ARM. Check out EmDebian as an example of a full linux distro for ARM.
