That sort of thing certainly has possibilities: "In 2007 a former colleage, John Ryland, created a prototype phone user interface environment based on Python and Qt. Unfortunately, his managers weren't interested in it and it was not developed further. In 2008, Nokia bought Trolltech and Qtopia, the product that complemented initiatives like this, was cancelled." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVOiZJuR24k I started playing around with Python on various devices since the Greenphone in late 2006. More recently, I've messed around with GUIs written in Python and Qt on devices like the Kobo Mini eReader. The plain old framebuffer version of Qt is fine for this. > Editing directly on the device, with the effects immediately > in place while the OS is running had its merits. > > It would be cool to do something like this again, now that almost 10 years > have passed and the (mobile) hardware is so much faster. Agreed. I think it would be good to have a decent, stable, open platform for this rather than chasing after the latest and greatest hardware available. It's good that the GTA04, Pyra and Neo900 are available or in the works.
