If we can find something simple enough as an application but covering a few basic areas I suspect we are onto a winner. Maybe even go with a series of simple applications?
Charles Petzold, whilst in the Windows camp, did some good examples for the Windows world, surely we can for Maemo too?
As I remember, he wrote books and people bought them. Mark Summerfield ("Rapid GUI programming with Python and Qt", Prentice hall) is the Charles Petzold of PyQt, no free online resource even comes close.

For those who will not pay for anything except hardware, there is an older (2001) book by Boudewijn Rempt available online:

It stops at Qt3 however, so while the basic stuff may still apply, some may be deprecated, and a lot more is simply missing...
