Coding Using Mobile Phone

Question

I am wondering is there any mobile phone available in this world that enable us to compile or interpret any code we type in?

Let say I want to code a simple program like in http://projecteuler.net, and I cannot find any computer nearby. I really want to code while going home using public transportation or waiting the bus, using my mobile phone.

The keypad will not be an issue, since QWERTY is good enough to type the code. The language could be pascal, php, or other lightweight language.

The IDE doesn't have to be sophisticated, text editor will do.

Answer 1

I once saw a HTML editor for Symbian S60 devices And also I used putty tool for telnet on Symbian S60

Answer 2

I used to be able to program my old graphical calculator, so I assume there are some compilers for mobile phones.

Answer 3

I would suggest that you buy a lightweight netbook and carry it around.

Answer 4

If you use one of the OpenMoko ones, you potentially have a fully fledged linux at your disposal and you can do everything just as on an resource limited desktop.

Don't know if the sell any with usable keyboard though.

Addit: This reminds me of the days of my zaurus, when I had a full MySQL server, webserver and ssh running on it.

That thing kicked some serious ass compared to limited PocketWindowsCE stuff. Unfortunately it got it's ass seriously kicked in terms of PIM functionality, but the geek factor was well worth it :)

There are lots of Python interpreters available for mobile devices. Check out Python for Mobile Devices for starters.

Answer 7

I just text it to myself through email and then compile it later. :-)

See this question.

Answer 9

I normally use MidpSSH (JAVA SSH client for mobile phones) and connect to my box at home through GPRS. That way you have access to everything your server has.
