Hi guys,

I own an unlocked iPhone 3G.
With it, you can install terminal, apache, gcc and compile PHP. By
doing it, you can even create a PHP-GTK application.
Also, it seems there's a port from mono to be incorporated by iPhone
soon, which means all .NET applications can run on it too. With that,
just install Phalanger on your Visual Studio and be nice coding in PHP
and running it on your iPhone.

BUT... if you are open mind... I already heard good things about Linux
mobile phones... OpenMoko.


Cheers,
