The technical side, I am not sure about. But the strategic value is very clear.

James Allworth, a blogger at the Harvard Business School, wrote recently about 
the coming paradigm shift in computing through the lens of this year's Consumer 
Electronics Show: "We will be able to look back and say that this was the CES 
that saw Wintel fall and Armdroid rise up."

I put together some quotes and thoughts of mine on the subject here:

We've talked about LibreOffice and ODF editing on Android and iOS before, but I 
agree that we need to find a way to actually build it. Do we have developers 
who would like to work on this? Business people who'd like to work on business 
plans? (Something like this might be able to seek outside funding to get it off 
the ground...)

Jaime--I suggest documenting your idea more thoroughly on our wiki here:

Thanks,
