Do not know if it is for Q5 only or it is also available for Q7. But someone already installed CE on SD card to dual boot Q7. I don't think it is going to be hard to DIY. Unlike Linus, CE has acceleration for ARM.
I've confirmed with e World that it will be Win CE 6.0 and it will be available within two days for the Q5 and sometime later for the Q7.

Here's part of the response from eletroworld.cn:

"That is right. We will bright out the WinCE system in this two days. This will be free. But it is not a official version. It only give the user to see a film or to link a GPS. So it only will be installed in the SD card to have a choose to boot with it. Now we finish the Q5 only, the Q7 will be later. And we will try to use the Android next."
