For Virtual Keyboards, I had Cellwriter set up on my Fujitsu tablet, It has both a virtual keyboard and hand writing recognition, works rather well. Gok is another one, though it doesn't exactly look pretty, it's functional.

Maliit does look pretty, and I wouldn't think it'd be too terribly difficult to port. I think Fedora already has it packaged. Can't recall which distribution I'd been using that had it on my tablet, but it was an earlier version and while it looked pretty, it was semi-broken.

I bought a sweet Mini Bluetooth keyboard though for this very purpose, it has a touch pad and directional pad as well as right / left mouse buttons. You can even rotate the touch pad and use it as it rests in your palm!

Hope this gets really easy to install soon, or I get some time to test it out, that's some serious awesomeness in speed!

I would think if the N900 had 1GB of ram, it'd be similar, I think that's truly where the bottle neck is.
