For the record you can run BT on the N900 (as well as rooted android devices), i've done it on mine.  BackTrack on iPhone is not possible.  The kernel is too different, android and N900 it's possible because both use a true Linux kernel, while iOS devices use a darwin kernel.  In theory one could boot into backtrack, but then you get into the iDroid project and I don't think that is stable quite yet.

I ask that question right after I ask if gravity will randomly decide to push us away from earth instead of pulling us towards it.

You can load BackTrack on N900 among other linux distrios.  I didn't really like the arm version of BT5 so I used a debian image which is easily installable through the Maemo repos and put all my hack tools on my SDCard.  Most of them can be run from within Maemo but I have w3af and MaltegoCE in there and in order to use those I need to chroot debian.   Just calling debian before the command will run it in a debian chroot environment.    BT5-arm doesnt even come with an aircrack-ng build in its repositories. 

N900 is great i you love linux like me.  Android would be fun to explore but the abilities are limited,  I think you'd hit alot more road blocks when developing for android.

Ya android is more of a pain to develop for, at least in the context of regular linux software, they ripped a ton of functions out of libc and called it bionic.

I've been using botbrew to have a debian chroot environment, and its pretty decent so far.

ya, a chroot allows for a full libc, I was talking if you wanted to do everything natively
