I am a linux geek so I am quite biased, but base your purchase on previous experience, Meego is pretty much Maemo 6 + Intel people I believe so if you liked the software and comunity driven style on the N900 go for the N9, else for the 701 :)

EDIT: BTW I do not have an N9, only an N900 :) I am not SO biased ;)

im sorry but you can't make claims like this unless you plan on porting gtk, injection wifi drivers, gtk depending apps, and much much more to n9, n9 simply lacks enough talented community developers for all this to be viable, n900 still has a much better comunity support not to mention how it was in its prime time

If you already have an N900, the N9 would seem to be a waste of money for this type of use case.

That's very interesting point. I love my N900 because I can do both RDP and SSH to manage my company servers. I also installed Tomcat server, and I can always test out my Spring based website on N900. It works like a charm with EJRE 7. I'm a big fan of Spring Framework. I didn't order N9 yet, but I may have to hold it and wait for 808 then. Thank you for your idea. :rolleyes:
