Russell Beattie gives more detail on PyThon-on-NokIa. Eek, no sockets support yet.
Will the Enter Prise really want a Fat Client on a Cell Phone? Wouldn't a WebApp make more sense? And wouldn't screen size kill just about any app that handles more than 3 fields on a screen? Sounds like a PDA with some wireless support (maybe WiFi, maybe something else) would be a better fit...
Semi-related update Jul26 - Russ on Dave Winer's experience at connecting with WiFi vs Cell Phone connections at the Democratic Party national convention. In theory, [CDMA] technology shares the same bandwidth for both data and voice and thus should scale in this situation very well. If you can get a dial tone, you should be able to connect to the net, right? GPRS (what GSM systems use for wireless data) has only a few available slots which would fill up quickly and thus would probably be saturated and useless. I've had this happen in a crowded mall on my 6600. But [CDMA] 2000 1x should hopefully be more reliable - especially when using a dedicated cellular networking card. Hmm, that doesn't speak well to GSM/GPRS...
