Mobile Apache Webserver
Nokia Research has come up with a port of the Apache web server for their smartphones (should work on any S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 2 based device and upward).

Providing access to a mobile phone from the Internet is not straightforward, as operators typically employ firewalls that prevent access from the Internet to phones inside that firewall. By implementing a custom gateway we could circumvent that limitation and we are now able to provide a webserver on a mobile phone with a global URL than can be accessed from any browser. In a sense, the mobile phone has now finally become a full member of the Internet.
