I don't have any experience with either of those devices, but I do
have a little emacs-on-tablet experience.
I have run Emacs in an SSH session from Android, using the ConnectBot
ssh client, and the Hacker's Keyboard input method. I'd say the user
experience is adequate but not ideal -- it depends on sticky modifier
keys rather than the usual chording. I believe that if you ran (e.g.)
a Debian chroot alongside Android, you could run a local emacs in a
local terminal or under Xvnc.
In my opinion, this will work, but it doesn't really leverage any
tablet-specific features.
Another possible device you might consider is the N850/900/950
series. I'm fairly certain there is a native emacs build for those
that requires no special jiggery-pokery.
