iPhone Can Now Serve Web Pages, Run Python, Open Source Apps
hacker NerveGas and the people at #iphone-shell have built Apache, Python and other Open Source apps for the iPhone. Yes, your iPhone can now be a Web Server and do all sort of 1337 things. This also means that third-party applications for iPhone will happen no matter what. People, Doom could be just around the corner.
The working installations, created using iPhone-hacking-genius Nightwatch's toolchain, include a working Apache installation, Pytho and "a growing binary kit including routing tools, vim, curl, and much more." The binaries can be downloaded from the iPhone Web Wiki web page, but keep in mind that these are only indicated for technical-oriented people, not consumers.
