Predominant among my concerns had been availability of programs for reading (pdf, word, other) and writing (a Word-like program), and for drawing (your suggestions were great) and image editing (like a mini photoshop, haven't seen anything yet). It seems from your faith in the N900 that programs of these sorts are all available, or will be soon. Is this so?
Hi Dayyan!

Thanks for your kind words!

PDF reading support is built in. Works great!
For writing you can use OpenOffice. Here is a great thread about it, which shows, that there are happy users: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=575448
Image editing is partly built in (watch my video about the camera and picture app) and there is a flash based photoshop clone, which works really good on the N900, a little bit slow, though. You can find it here: http://pixlr.com/app/
Edit: there is also Ansel-A in extras devel. maybe I'm making a video about that program, soon.
By the way, if you like what I'm doing.. I'm running for a seat in the maemo community council . You can't vote, because it is required to be a member of this forum for at least 3 month. But maybe other can do
Voting starts on the 23 of march and end on the 30 of march
And here are the declarations of the candidates.

Sorry for a little bit offtopic!
