Love it... cuz I personally find it more usable then non-tablet ;) mode..

METHOD

all you need is

1) HCL Launcher : : HCL or Honeycomb Launcher is a launcher, or home replacement app, for Android devices that will replicate Honeycomb 3.2 to its limit!
ok that was copy/paste.. but its so very true guys... you need to have a look on the Play Store screenshots "it seems that even those people underestimated the power of this amazing launcher"

another Good thing about HCL Launcher is that ITS FREE:)

Features (again copy/paste;))
★Clones Honeycomb 3.0 - 3.2+
★Honeycomb Wallpaper Chooser
★Hide Notification Bar (Gesture/Swipe up)
★Honeycomb Quick-Menu
★Honeycomb Google Search Bar
★7 Honeycomb clock widgets pre-installed
★Quick-Action Menu with Quick-Launch
★Hide Labels (Under Launcher Settings in Honeycomb Settings)
★Supports all sources of wallpapers (e.g. Cyanogenmod, gallery)
★Supports Live Wallpapers (All sources)
★Scrollable Widgets (HTC) . . . "this feature is working on our N900 Nitdroid too :)
★Re-Sizable Widgets

Their is also a Plus version called HCL+ Launcher "if you want to support Developers for their outstanding work"

HCL+ launcher features :
★Extra Wallpapers
★Pre-installed apps

Quick Tips and Help
★Swipe up/down to hide/show the notification bar

★Please be patient! as HCL Launcher Crashes in the beginning but Stabilizes Later on...

★use taskXP to free up ram if you like play with widgets

★Remember this is still in BETA

-----------------------------------------------

2) DPI Changing - this is important for N900 or any device with less then 1024x resolution to switch to tablet mode.. for some apps like Opera mobile/mini & iLauncher

Changing DPI

LCD Resolution (Root)(app) - works flawlessly on N900, it also shows the resolution preview in while moving app Slider

N900(Nitdroid) Setting-1 . . . [Recommended]
default = ~250dpi : : : : Resolution = 800x480
Changed = 150dpi : : : : Resolution = 1280x768 almost similar to Galaxy Note

N900(Nitdroid) Setting-2 . . . [RECOMMENDATION I KEEP TO MYSELF;)]
default = ~250dpi : : : : Resolution = 800x480
Changed = 120dpi : : : : Resolution = 1600 x 960 . . . Shocking but it works Great

NOTE - do backup your "build.prop" before changing DPI

-----------------------------------------------

3) Smart Keyboard or Slide-it keyboard whatever you like
note - do increase the height of smart keyboard in settings

-----------------------------------------------
4) TASK XP (free) - a Must Have Task Manager for N900 Nitdroid... and other Droids
its a free task manager Excellent for Multitasking and Task killing.. an switching between Actually Running Apps and not resent apps

-----------------------------------------------
5) Cheers ur done :)

-----------------------------------------------

YOU ARE FREE TO USE ANY & AS MANY WIDGET YOU LIKE/WANT, JUST REMEMBER THEY CONSUME RAM :)

Enjoy.. &.. Enjoy...
