Of course. But that sounds like lots of work. So why not create some 
scripts to put together maemo/x86 that boots from USB stick and map WLAN 
and Bluetooth to physically available devices? Maybe we could even map 
the hardware buttons to a USB joypad.

This way developers programming apps that make use of the bluetooth and 
WLAN functionality can test their apps like in real life (only on a 
slightly bigger box). An emulator that simulates the target device just 
makes sense for kernel hacking.
