I think that with a powerful enough IR light source we might have functional night vision with the N900.

After finishing my N900's alternate body project, I'm planning to do something special. You see, I'm probably going to settle down on circle-cover for camera in replacement backcovers. there is no reason, why I couldn't use modified camera module (without IR filter) whole time, with one part of circle cover being just IR filter (for normal photography). This way, camera cover would have 3 states - closed, open, and open-with-IR-filter

Add to this a pack fo high-power IR leds, and you have portable night-vision. Either by looking at N900 screen while keeping it in hand, or - if one want really fancy DIY kit - by hacking together a googles with mount-point for N900, and screen for view (using video output).
