Yes, most Google apps do try now to default to the mobile version for the N900. The default user agent string used by the microB browser is,

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2b6pre) Gecko/20100318 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900
If you change the user agent string to that used by Mozilla's Fennec browser for the N900,

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2.1) Gecko/20100330 Firefox/3.6.1  Fennec/1.0.1
that appears – for now, at least – gives you the desktop versions of the Google Apps. You can change the user agent string by installing the addon "Hide user Agent" from the maemo repositories.

This surely may have some other side-effects... we'll see!
