Python for Series 60 PhonesSo the first steps in making your phone scriptable is now available.

Python for Series 60 is available for download from Nokia.

The very exciting thing about this is that it supports Bluetooth, HTTPLib and Cell based location access.

It is a matter of time (very short) before someone has built an IcyPole like app which can communicate with other phones using bluetooth, link to the network using http and determine its cell location automatically.

All this without ANY carrier involvement. Now if as a whole we were able to map the cell id to a lat/long we would have full location based services available in python without ANY carrier costs having to be incurred.
