iPhone Can Now Run Apache, Python, Vim 312
An anonymous reader writes "After the first Hello World application, hacker NerveGas and the people at #iphone-shell have built Apache, Python and other Open Source apps for the iPhone using NightWatch's toolchain. Yes, your iPhone can now be a Web Server and do all sort of 1337 things. This also means that third-party applications for iPhone will happen no matter what. People, iPhone Doom could be just around the corner." It's fairly thin on information but if true, this will lead to good things. Like hopefully permission from apple.

Ah, the blind faith of a True Believer. I suppose the crippled nature of the device is a test, and by defeating it you are found worthy in Jobs' eyes? And the next time you plug it into iTunes, instead of silently patching these "flaws", it will release everyone's phone from bondage!

I put it down to the kids these days, they're just not as adventurous as when I was a lad (i.e., 1999) and used to walk to work in the snow, uphill, both ways, with only a roasting Slashdotted PIC-based webserver for warmth.

It can, but until they can put a Ctrl key on the phone, it is useless.

I have no idea why I would have 80 of these port things you keep talking about. It must have been damaged in shipping, as there was no physical damage to the phone when sent. In any event, please let me know when the phone will be returned fully repaired as per your warranty.
Just to speed the process along, I've cc'd a few people on my email who may also be interested. Thanks for your help.

Pretty soon we'll be seeing the iPhone being locked up and sent to rehab to get a fully functional SDK. Or maybe it will be hanging out with OLPC (Lohan).
Unavoidable and becoming just as painful....
