If you have VNC client installed on your computer and have VNC server installed on N900 then you can just remotely access N900 directly through wirelessly.
VNC can be slow depending on your connection type and colour option. Unless someone write up and application for this, otherwise this is the only option.

Pretty much limited to a 3G connection while in the office at work so it looks ilke i'll have to wait out till a budding coder thinks of something unless its usuable through 3G... can't see it being usuable though...

To control over the USB you need a modified kernal (like Titan's) which has USB IP. When you have this you can connect to the device using X11 and control it as if you were touching it.
But really it's a pain and a bit of a hack, and I couldn't begin to give you step by steps. If anyone does have them though it would be much appreciated by me!

Guess this is mostly done through terminal though? how difficult would that be to programme for automation & get some sort of UI to back it.

Well making a whole program and front end to this would take some work. Also they'd have to make desktop clients which would take time and be difficult given the number of platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux...)
Many tools already exist for this, like VNC, so it's just a matter of installing the server on the N900 and then getting this to connect over the USB cable with USB IP.
