I have an n900.  Emacs and org work wonderfully for a small device.  I'm 
using 23.2 compiled by Sander Boer on this list.

The keyboard is easily remapped.  The only downsides are the screen size 
& speed.  A task that takes 4 sec. to run on my laptop takes over 30 on 
the phone (iterating large tables and the like).

Capture & clocking make it very useful in the handheld, so useful that I 
just picked a 2nd device to have when my current one dies.

I can't speak to tablets or the freerunner but I would think the lack of 
a real keyboard would be difficult to overcome.
