A Webserver on Your Cellphone?

Posted by Cliff on from the what-would-you-do-with-it dept.

Mad_Rain asks: "I saw over on Make Magazine an article about using your cell phone on the Internet, except instead of browsing the web from your cell, you can serve webpages from your phone. Of course, it uses Apache, Python and a Nokia S60 series cell phone. I can imagine a couple of creative applications for webservers in strange places, but what else can be done with this?"

  1. Dreamcast comes to mind by TouchOfRed · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is about as handy as running linux + X + apache on your dreamcast.. on its 56k modem. Unfortunatly after starting the kernel, x and apache, there was about 3MB of free ram on the dreamcast for useful stuff to server(unless you included it on your iso image). While this is useless, the latest psphttpd is somewhat useful if you are near a hotspot and need to transfer stuff off your psp(real nerds carry around usb cables though) via 802.11b. I better get working on my nes webserver quickly before even your cat has a webserver in it
