What Texrat wants isn't so far away from what the normal weekend coder needs. (and we have a few of those at work)

Something that can be set up in fifteen minutes on the machine that's anyway around the house. And a framework in which you get a simple hello world up and running on device in the next five minutes.

Virtual machines are a pretty good compromise for development, but they still require a lot of scaffolding in the background and they also require some knowledge of the system (Maemo SDK on Linux) that's in the virtual box.
Something like this I was really hoping for.

But just to make sure that I understood correctly, let me ask a few questions:

1. Will the idea be to use Qt Creator (or something similar) for coding and then all one had to do is to compile it to Maemo (preferably with a single click )?

2. Will it have it have directly the ability to use Maemo style widgets (I'm not certain of the correct terms here) in its Form editor? Currently the Windows version of Qt Creator seems to have only Windows style widgets... I think.

3. Is the idea that run it in Windows for quick testing and eventually, when ready for testing on the actual device, compile it to Maemo?

Thanks
