Well, considering I'm coming from a web-dev background and that I know Python, yeah, I don't have the wherewithal to learn c/c++ (gives me a headache - pointers, memory management and what not).

I don't understand why there isn't something out there already as an example, esp if there is this push for PyQt to get rapid development on the N900.

I've already started building a PyQt based app for the N900... but not being able to read gps info from the phone is a critical stumbing block.
