Take a look at Nokias Mobile Web Server.

And yes, it really is slow, even via wireless lan.

Sounds like a great way to put a Chinese Gov mole on you cellphone. It phones home frequently and when H-hour comes it will start spewing its rubbish doing its part to disable the internetz...

Doesnt Damn Small Linux (50meg distro) have a webserver included??

That is the last thing we need: people with 0wned servers spewing out more pollution across the web, and now on their mobiles too. We'll soon see unlimited data plans, so expect this to become yet another burden on society.

Why would I want to run my illegal server from a mobile, hard to trace device that I can throw in the river or smash with a hammer at the first sign of trouble?

Gee. I really can't think of any reason at all...

You can already run web server on a jailbroken iphone, the only thing new here is dynamically update DNS to your current IP. Sounds new, but it's not that big of a deal.

Pretty sure this will go down as a novelty. I mean why would you run a web server that would drain a lot of your battery, unstable, and slow on your phone when you can just keep your desktop on running a server and set it up so you can update the server from you phone.

Just imagine what the p2p scene could do with something like this. The wireless signal could be turned on or off at will, and as long as the entire file was around in some form it could be reassembled, even if the original source had gone somewhere else.

Raid my web servers now!!

Too bad the capacity on the phones is too tiny, but perhaps the PB tracker could go mobile? haha

Perhaps I do not understand this properly.

Development on a screen the ize of an iPhone or N900 (N600?) is not going to work too well in an era of vi/emacs/pick-your-IDE. So a new paradigm for the UI of a dev enviro will have to appear, no? Something that can fit into a 4 or 5 inch screen, and into sub-640x480 resolution.

Not saying it can't be done, just that it needs to be done to make these devices useful to developers.
