And I'm not sure it'd all have to be written from scratch to go to Android, since Linux is the foundation for both. As an OEM, they aren't exactly restricted to Java apps like Google does with ISVs to get onto the Google Market.
The real power of android is the Java foundation and the Android API that has been built on it.

With java you have the truest scene of write once run everywhere.

I don't know what SONY used to create the 505/600, but I don't think it was on Java. I'm pretty sure it was a complete rewrite.
