I don't know what would happen on that setup as I've never used a USB touchscreen with a tablet.

BUT... the Nokia N97 has USB charging through its microUSB port and that can be used simultaneously for data activity while the phone is charging.

I would assume the N900 would have the same ability?

Presumably we'll see a keyboardless Maemo phone next year which would be a more direct match though.
Yes, they can. The Motorola Sholes, if the preliminary specs are correct, is only 2mm thicker than an iPhone and it has a bigger battery than the N900 and a slightly higher resolution 3.7" screen, all this with a 4 row keyboard and it weighs about 15g less.

The form factor of the sholes is just about perfect, but it has no internal storage and the CPU is still unknown.

I have a USB HD that has a split USB cable, one for power only and one for data/power. I wonder if the N900 could be charged while using it as a USB host that way...

I will continue my hope for a seperate device with more screen realestate.
agreed. in fact, i would rather have a slightly larger screen than the n810 has with the same outside dimensions.

I thought the n97 also had 3.5" screen but, the n900 screen look bigger. What's different in the size?

I am. Everything else look nice but, for a phone the size is in good standing.

This image shows the size of a 3.5 screen in your 4.1 tablet. The white square is the smaller screen (nearly) centered, and the blue one is flushed.

The 3.5 screen being 85% of the size of the 4.1 means it should take the same area of you vision if you put the device 15% closer to your eyes. You can test this with this image, see where the screen is, then move it closer to you until the rectangle takes the same size...

I didn't find it much bad. It may be good to prevent people from snooping!

Does anybody know if there are other devices out there with the n900's screen dimensions?

I'm considering getting some sort of screen protector--and since n900-specific third-party accessories probably won't start coming out until after the device is released, perhaps something designed for a device with similar screen real-estate would be a useful proxy in the meantime.

They're starting to come out already:
