Hi, I hacked such a thing, currently it only shows the GSM signal strength, not very useful, but it's a proof-of-concept.
I export a rest-like interface at /api/0.1/gsm/status that returns json, essentially it's a simple bridge to dbus. I then used html and javascript to load this data in the background with a refresh button to reload it. It works nicely. I used jQuery for the ajax. For myself I only need a gpx export of the tracks from tangogps. What would others want to do with such a web interface to their phone?
