Specifically, I'm thinking of the 300MHz Palm TX sitting on the table beside me, which should be more than powerful enough to run Python, but in general I think it should be easier to cross-compile Python for new architectures. I've taken a stab at it, and perhaps it's because I don't have enough experience porting large projects, but it turned out to be a non-starter for me. It might be worth talking to the Nokia and Pippy people to see what the major challenges were, and how we could make it easier for them.
I see smaller devices as a new field, without much competition from other languages, in which Python could come to dominate. (Python on the Palm at least exists, even if it is based on 1.5. I haven't heard anything about anyone attempting to put Ruby on a Palm.)
