The problem with running Chrome on anything other than netbooks designed for Chrome is the lack of drivers. Google has specifically said they don't intend to develop drivers for anything beyond the Chrome netbooks they are working with manufacturers on. Although, as has been pointed out, the source code is open and you can certainly develop your own drivers.

It might be a fun project. As a project, I might agree with Apoc and try it on the N810. Chrome's browser based paradigm would seem to be a bit problematic for a phone but in many ways it would seem to fit better on a tablet than the existing Diablo paradigm.

BTW, I find it amusing that the Maemo fanboys seem to be taking the attitude that "we believe in open source but only our open source."
