Mobile web server from Nokia

Nokia Research Center posted mobile web server binary file for download.

Considering that modern phones have processing power and memory on par with and even exceeding that of servers of the early web, there really is no reason anymore why webservers could not reside on mobile phones and why people could not create and maintain their own personal mobile websites.

A desire to show in practice that personal mobile websites are feasible triggered the birth of the project that started in the beginning of 2004. The primary goals were to bring a full-fledged webserver to S60 and to make a webserver running on a mobile phone accessible from the Internet using any web browser.

Nokia has ported Apache httpd, the most widely used webserver in the world, and mod_python and integrated it with Python for S60.

The believe is that being able to run a globally accessible personal website on your mobile phone has the potential of changing the Internet landscape.

Overall very interesting and can have some serious implications. Visit Nokia Research Center’s pages for more information and download instructions.
