jikes! why would one do that? - any correctly designed webserver would hinder you from accessing the files of the underlying system, except your webapp - you would need o lot of code to connect to the underlying systems api, so you may access the system - there would be another layer consuming resources - you'd need to protect your phone/webserver from being connected to from the world (firewall or so) which probably will eat another share of resources - to access your app you will need a running browser(engine) which will eat resources too - every interaction will be from browser to server and back and you will probably need a resource hog like ajax to accomplish something resembling a native app just for fun it might be a nice idea -- for productive use the idea seems braindead to me. if you know python already it should be not much effort to learn how to program with pyqt or pygtk ... _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
