Are we dealing here with a portable-computing question of how to bring the N900's powers of processing and display to bear on data that it must communicate by USB connection with a relatively dumb gadget like a hard drive or a printer?

Or do we have a pride-of-ownership question in which new owners seek affirmation that their expensive purchase doesn't need any help from the last-year-but-one model, thank you? (Much less the 2005 model.)
