Up to now Nokia is maybe the vendor that has been betting harder on having a web server on your smartphone. Their targets were both publishing tiny personal web sites and developing on-device-running applications using Python, since it’s an scripting language pretty easier to use than Symbian. For this reason, a lot of S60 APIs are available for Python scripts.
But now it seems they are going to take it to the next level. Thanks to XatakaMovil, we have reached to a thread in Forum Nokia where a Nokia’s expert reveals that they will demonstrate and release what they call the PAMP stack at the CCNC conference in Las Vegas in January, 2008.
PAMP stands for Personal Apache, MySQL, PHP. That is, a LAMP port for S60 smartphones. Moreover, there will be PHP extension modules giving access to the core functionality of the device. This will allow to install any LAMP based system on your smartphone. In fact, they talk about installing a CMS such as Drupal.
Anyway, as Nokia’s guy admits, “a fair amount of memory is needed and it’s still pretty experimental stuff, but it runs quite nicely on E90″.
