It would be cool to have 1.2GB ram in N900 working (256MB internal + 1024MB in-cover)
I hope n900 to be electrically compatible with notebook memory banks (or else it would need special parts which would be accessible only in large quantities)

Unfortunately, it's completely different technology, and it's absolutely impossible to use RAM sticks in N900. See wiki page about N900 hardware - memory is part of SoC.

We can't add more separate USB port to N900 - any addition would be just another plug for same physical port, so not possible to use 2 different devices at the same time.

I thought briefly, about using micro-hub inside (that would, indeed, allow to connect more than one device at once), but it would be infeasible due to size (less important), and increased battery drain, when hostmode is active. It's just much better to connect small, external hub, when you need it.

BTW, it was discussed in this thread, already.
