For other people finding this thread wondering about getting Maemo/Mer on a device, here's a basic check list to follow:
1) Does it have a port of the Linux kernel, able to boot without hardware modifications?
2) Are there Linux drivers for most of the hardware (especially: framebuffer, touchscreen, any GSM or wifi or bluetooth radios you want to use)?
3) Does it have at least 127MB of RAM and a 640x480 screen?
4) Is someone already running Angstrom or Debian or Ubuntu on it (booted natively, not chrooted)?

If you've made it all the way to 4 chances are really good that you could get Mer working without too much work at all. Even if you've just made it to 3, you could probably get there with some dedication and hacking, but if you're not that far you're going to have to be (or know) a serious hacker to see Maemo/Mer running on your device inside it's lifetime.
