mod_python on your phone

The Nokia Research Center just announced a Mobile Web Server project that has ported Apache and mod_python (using Python for S60) to the S60 platform. At ETech 2005, my Python in your Pocket presentation alluded to this idea that mobile application development could become a lot like web development in the future, as web servers, middleware, databases, and powerful rendering engines make their way onto mobile devices. I'm glad to see this project finally making a public announcement -- it's very cool work!

In somewhat related news, a friend sent this link as well: "The Mobile Wi-fi Access Point". If you're interested in patching together mobile and wi-fi networks, it's worth a peek.
