A research center at Nokia is working on an open source project that would literally make cell phones into web servers. You might think it's a big crazy and that they are biting off more than a phone can chew, but listen to the background they provide. "For quite some time it has been possible to access the Internet using mobile phones, although the role of the phone has strictly been that of a client. Considering that the modern phones have processing power and memory on par with and even exceeding that of webservers when the web was young, there really is no reason anymore why webservers could not reside on mobile phones and why people could not create and maintain their own personal mobile websites." It makes a lot of sense.
Right now it's just an experiment. They specifically say "The software is currently used inside Nokia as an experimentation platform."
