Turn your S60 smartphone into a web server - now for real!
Nokia S60 applications
- May 3rd, 2006
Phil wrote in the See-into-S60 blog in January about turning your S60 smartphone into a web server. Radu Popescu was suspicious:
Until there’s a version released or available somewhere, this sounds pretty much like vapourware.
Well, I just received an email note from Johan Wikman: the client is now publicly available for download from http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/mobile-web-server/phone-software
Great!
I haven’t tried it myself, but all you geeks: go try it and give your feedback to the Nokia Research Center team!

Nobody else tried it yet? I installed it to my secondary phone, and it impressed me again. With Python integration, the possibilities are huge! Now I want this to become a default feature on all S60 phones, doesn’t sound too weird doesn’t it? Also, 3rd Edition version would be nice to have WLAN as well. All, try it and you’ll what I mean.
I personally believe this will shake the webserver market. What is now needed is a clear policy-message from NOKIA which explains what does the “open source” really mean in this particular case. My company has already decided to invest some R&D resources on this but right now we need more information to get our positioning right.
