Jake pointed me towards a blog post about Python coming to Nokia Phones as I’ve been “riding the snake” for a few months now.

Yesterday’s keynote by Nokia CTO Pertti Korhonen at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference confirmed that we would be seeing Python rolling on Series 60 handsets (specifically the 6600 and family) via Forum Nokia.

It doesn’t even appear be vaporware as there are screen shots of the Python interpreter running on the phone. I can’t say I’ve really done any programming on embedded devices such as smart phones, but nonetheless, that’s pretty exciting.
