It's becoming reality - now you can have those applications you sorely lacked on your internet tablet. The sorcerer who made all possible is Qole - thanks Qole my friend! (see his signature).
Openoffice.org 2.4 and Abiword 2.4.6 already work (even if with some glitches, which should be fixed hopefully).
It's not a breeze to setup, yet: you have to make a big partition, untar there a debian armel rootfs, then activate it by chrooting, update, upgrade, and apt-get install those applications you need.
Everything is explained here:

I am still having trouble in making the proper desktop items, and I have been changing the Qole's script for chrooting as root. When I get some real results, I'll post here. But I am very happy of these new opportunities!
The video above - admittedly ugly and boring - shows openoffice.org writing and drawing, plus abiword, so that you can see how (un)responsive are these apps on the N810.

Hey, I'm so glad to have made you happy.
You would make me happy by documenting your changes, extensions, and improvements in the discussion thread that I started.
