Certainly SSH server on the device is a HUGE benefit. This gives you access to a remote terminal on the device but also implies SFTP, which lets you remotely access the files on your N900. With SFTP you can use Filezilla or Gnome's Nautilus (or other apps, I'm sure) to move files wirelessly -- and with a purty GUI -- knowing only the device address (IP, or domain if you've configured one for the network you plan to use).
This is one area openness shines.
In fact, I can't wait to see what the crazy kids here cook up with dynamic dns and 3G. For example, it's not out of the question to run a simple web server from your N900 regardless of where you are! Why? Not sure.
YARR!
