It works on ARM too, See ubuntu-moblin-remix. Karmic already has an ARM build.

I stumbled on this:

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100415PB201.html

"Compal Communications has secured orders for an entry-level smartphone based on Nokia's Maemo platform, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

Shipments of the model, which is slated to feature a 4-inch or larger display and Qualcomm's 7000-series chipset, are scheduled for the second half of 2011. This marks the first time Compal has received Nokia orders with a FOB (free-on-board) price above US$150, the report indicated."

Re: Nokia ARM based netbook with Maemo
 

if this is true, we are looking at 6 year old tech. This makes next to zero sense.

my suspicion is that its a non-nokia company that placed the order, and that the os used will be that "knock off" maemo thats been showing up on chinese devices ever so often (looking more like a variant of mer, or at least maemo with all the closed nokia bits stripped off).

also, neither page even links to a source, be it in chinese or english.

heck, i thought nokia had their own factory over there.

TFA also claims the N900 has a Samsung ARM processor, well, if the rest of the article is as correct as that snippet... :)
