I've tried, QEMU won't compile. It gives an unknown cpu error. There is support for some ARM cpus as a host but there is no backend for the specific n800 cpu. Porting QEMU to a different cpu is a little out of my experience.

Getting QEMU on the N800 would be hard, but not too bad.
QEMU is quite slow. Even slower than you think. Remember that we're going from x86 to ARM here, not x86 to x86.
Not to mention that it's ARMEL arch, not ARM arch, so all sorts of things won't work right out of the box.
Given how slow Flash 7 is, the idea of this producing a usable Flash 9 is laughable. We're better off betting on the (still nascent) open source flash VMs.

I got qemu to work on the n800 by gutting the rtc code. I did this to try to get a faster bochs, but I was very wrong. Qemu is much slower than bochs. I was watching the bios screen typed at typewriter speed. 
I then tried to use the user-mode emulation to run skype for linux. No success there either.

As I said, no no no no no.
the only thing a found about qemu and n800 is that n800 runs under qemu in pc. so i dunno.
i do not own a n800 myself. i'm just planing to buy one
also a happy thing would be to run arm pocketpc apps on n800 with wine or something...
