You people and your copyright paranoia, STFU!
As far what you want, I'm still unclear. I was going to respond to your other thread but which of the following is what you are asking?
1.) N900 sync to Zune HD. This would require the creation of a plugin supporting the proprietary MTP transfer that the Zunes use. The purpose of this is to put music ONTO the Zune.
2.) Replicate the Zune UI in OS2009. Somewhat like running XBMC front-end on Linux (or whatever).
3.) Other: ___________
Honestly if you want it to look and be as smooth as the Zune HD, then get the Zune. The N900 does not use the Tegra architecture and probably does not support nearly as smooth graphical transitions, etc. However, that is not to say that it couldn't come close and that it doesn't support MANY MANY things that the Zune doesn't.
I don't believe we have reached the point for a truly all-in-one device that excels at EVERYTHING. This is largely due to patents and competing architecture.
If you can get what you want working on say Ubuntu (x86; Desktop) then it should be possible to port the tablets.
And please keep in mind what you are getting into.
The N8X0s were "Internet tablets" they excel at portable web browsing as well as being mobile computers with the power of Linux. The N900 is in much the same way a portable computer, plus phone capabilities and a decent camera. These aren't dedicated Portable Media Players.
Look into Canola2, Mediabox, and the others
here
. Cause that's what we got so far.
There was one game ported to OS2008 for $20 that I recall...
