Running Python on an iPhone would open up some new possiblities. However, not sure if iPhone's 320x480 screen resolution makes it very useful for anything serious. What's interesting from this point of view is Nokia's N770 (a bargain at $129) and N800 which has a 800x480 touchscreen and runs Debian Linux. I have just started playing with it and need to find out more. Unfortunately, N770 is too limited in the amount of RAM and Flash memory on the system. So it's OK for high-resolution web browsing, video streaming, ... needs, but one may need to simplify it's UI in order to run a wider range and amount of apps. Thanks, that’s an interesting info.
