You would use maemo in other computers. To show presentations you finished in the metro without needing to install anything in the customers computer for example. To scan something or print something without having to ask for your mate windows password. Like a live distro but with all data synced and at your disposal when you unplug the thing.
And the good thing is. Im pretty sure a skilled maemo programer can create it in less than a week.

Here you have it. Once you connect a maemo device to a computer it acts as if it where a usb storage.
That it means that it could act as a live distro for a PC?
If that is possible, wouldn't it be cool if you could connect your tablet to a PC and then switch it on and start the x86 version of maemo from the minisd and then, somehow freeze the host and mount the internal memory so the PC became an Internet tablet?
I mean, your computer would be your tablet. When you are away it works like itbdoes now, but when you are close to any desktop computer, you only have to connect it to the computer, switch the computer on, and there you have it. Your maemo OS, with your data, but running on a bigger screen, with much more cpu, a normal keyboard, etc. You could have openoffice compiled for maemo x86 and not having it in the arm copy of maemo, yet both of them would share the same other data. Finally, when you don't need the big machine anymore, you terminate it and when maemo on your tablet discovers noone is using the data anymore it resumes working doing first a reload of all services and programs to be sure everything is working as it should.
What do you think?
