@marcinw,
sorry what do mean you couldn't create apps with Bluetooth? It comes with BlueZ. Though I agree you need some prior knowledge on Linux to develop the apps. But the wiki here has bundle of examples.
Here is the list of API:
http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ma...documentation/
and BlueZ is listed.
And I assure you Nokia have wide developers across the globe, not only in Finland. Maemo takes some learning curve. Unlike Apple has centralize documentation or 'iPhone for dummy' from Amazon, it takes a few more steps and patient to adapt yourself.
However, once you get used to it, you will have bundle of choices: Python, Qt, GTK, Gstreamer, OpenGL ES2, BlueZ, ..., etc. Not enough? You could port it yourself? Not satisfied with the compiler / toolchain? You could change it.
Freedom comes with some price.
