Thank dog for that!
(Since I own both... )

the main challenge is not getting applications to run on it however, but getting them usable on touch-input devices with (for now, generally) low resolutions.
So true.
Even on current Fremantle e.g. claws-mail works just fine, but the UX is extremely painful even with the stylus.
FWIW, I don't think the low resolution is the problem but the high density, compared to desktop monitors (the N900's 800x480 would take up a significant screen area on my desktop, much larger than the phone's actual screen size). Fonts are sometimes large enough, sometimes way too small, toolbar buttons and other icons tend to be tiny etc.
