I have been looking into developing for maemo but the documentation is little help. I haven't tried the proper SDK yet because I haven't got round to sorting out a virtual machine, but I have had a quick little play with MADDE in which I managed to create a simple hello world program that worked on my mac, but not on my phone.

You guys think python is an easier way into maemo dev? Also, UI creation, can I use QT creator?
I really suggest using MADDE as a first intro to native development. Even though it is a preview, it is stable.

Python (according to most people, to my shame I haven't tried) is an easier language to start with than C++, but Qt does make the learning curve easy. In some things C++ is faster as it is compiled, but for smaller projects, I don't really see much difference.

Qt Creator works for Qt/C++, not Python.
