Cool beans! The Nokia chaps have given a canned demo of Python on Series 60 phones at ETech, sure we knew this was coming but it's always nice to see something tangible. Now the big questions are; when can we play with it on our phones? What can it really do on the phone? And are there any restrictions on access to the address book, memory, network stacks etc.?

They say they've been working on it since 1998, which makes it rather amusing given that Symbian's chief systems architect was asking me questions about Python less than a year ago. Either Nokia were keeping it very tightly under their hats, or he's quite a poker player...
