All these things the N900 DOES have, and for an IT professional, they are INVALUABLE.
For $.99, install TouchTerm on your wife's 3GS. In a pinch, you'll be able to ssh into all of your boxes. It even has a user level password for secure convenience; you'd be safe even from your wife. A very good app and I highly recommend it. There's also a deluxe version for hardcores like yourself.
