Your solution:

1. Remote Control - Set up VNC server and viewer (available in extras)
2. TV Out - Use the cable supplied
3. N900 Touchpad - Connect your phone to your computer via bluetooth and use the Mouse function of BlueMaemo (still in extras-devel at the moment, so be wary of crashes, and instability that could somehow result in bricking the phone).
4. Bluetooth Keyboard - Self-explanatory.

There you have your "Nirvana Phone."

EDIT: Actually, BlueMaemo and VNC are both fullscreen, so I actually don't know how that would work out. :\

EDIT2: In order to port an application, it's source code needs to be opened, (which they usually aren't, in the Windows world). Otherwise, it would be called cloning an application.

EDIT3: (I really need to proofread...) Maemo is not completely open: There are some proprietary parts to the operating system, so say, if you tried to install Maemo on another unsupported device, it would not work.
