I know that it ran on WINE long ago. Since it's rather lightweight and cleanly coded, maybe it will run on WINE on a Tablet/N900.

That video is super neat, Wine on the N900 at it's best.

On this video wine is not running on the N900 but on linux PC with the N900 logged in via openssh and opening photoshop on wine.
Then the X forwarding feature of openssh is used to send keyboard/mouse events from N900 to the PC and screen events from PC to N900. So in this video, the N900 only act like a dedicated screen/keyboard/mouse for photoshop.

You can't take a program that has been compiled for one architecture and run it on another, it just won't work, you can only run it using an emulator and an emulator takes a lot of processing power to just to emulate a much slower processor.

WINE for desktop Linux just needs to pretend to be Windows to get a program to run, it doesn't need to emulate a different processor. WINE for ARM would need to emulate an x86 processor as well as pretending to be Windows if it were to run a regular Windows program.
What WINE for ARM provides is a easy way to port programs written for Windows to Linux-based ARM devices using winelib, but you need the source code so you can recompile the program to run on an ARM processor.

Saw an updated message on Onion's blog:
Update 15.10.2010:
Using desktop mode makes using wine much nicer and keyboard input works too. Running winecfg is a bit problematic as it won't fit the screen properly but editing ~/.wine/user.reg and adding the following lines in the end enables desktop mode:
[Software\\Wine\\Explorer] 1287126526
"Desktop"="Default"
[Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops] 1287126530
"Default"="800x480"

The desktop (read below) makes Wine on the N900 look superb, even as a proof-of-concept.
