I actually did some on-device hacking on the Nokia N900. Terminal, Git, Python and a reasonably nice code editor: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/pygtkeditor/ http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/pygtkeditor/ Python was especially well suited for on-device development as you're not so dependent on special characters not available on typical phone QWERTYs.
