I would like to get linux-arm binaries up at some point, but they would
need to work on as many ARM devices as possible, and as Tim Caswell says,
portable arm binaries are an oxymoron. That said, if a copy of node
compiled for ARMv5 processors is the lowest common denominator for ARM
devices (I'm just getting started in this area), then maybe that would be
the way to go.

I welcome comments from more ARM-knowing people on the feasibility of this
:)

 well done!
 I know you guys are in the thick of it, and probably can't see the wood
 for the trees, but-
 I would suggest, NodeJS has a massive following in the x86, x64 area,
 You probably have more (admittedly end-user types - not developers) people
 interested in the ARM arena.
 V8 needs to be compiled with an x86 machine, before porting the rest to
 any ARM,
 It would be really 'nice' if you released an ARM (say ARM5) version for
 the ARM community to be able to work from as you are now trialing with the
 linux ports
 thanks for reading this far.

honestly - my preference is for the A10 (or A13) chip
you can load linux - then nodejs then you js code onto a memory stick and 
the A10 boots from the stick (either USB or SD)
The A10 is available in a number of tablets, and the brilliant MK802 stick.
If you want a device to try it on - tell me and I will arrange for a number 
of devices (using the A10) sent to you
There are probably 50 'JS hackers' out there for each programmer, and ARM 
devices are cheap and run JS really well

If you want some devices to test on - tell me - hairyone42 at gmail
