Hi everybody!
Another thread here inspired me to create a web server for my mobile phone (a windows mobile 5.0 powered smart phone).
I'm also doing an exercise at my university where we do socket programming (in JAVA). I though: well I did it in JAVA; I can do this in .NET! To make it more fun, I will do it for my mobile phone 
And that's the result:
Sputnik: The compact web server. 
To make it even more fun, I created an extension mechanism and wrote one extension: the active server pages compact. They are similar to the old Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages) and allow using the full compact framework in each web page.
It's still a prototype, but works really well. I was surprised.
You want to test it? (It's running on my phone)
http://82.54.106.234/">http://82.54.106.234
I'll let it online for a few hours. Will be online until tomorrow 
http://82.54.106.234/gallery.aspc">http://82.54.106.234/gallery.aspc
This is a little gallery showing a few pictures on my phone (pictures are taken with the phone's camera). The page is created dynamically!
It might be slow. That's because this is my private internet connection and the upload speed is low!
Cheers and happy halloween!
Edit: Should I open source it (put into the sandbox)?
Edit2: I wonder if the google bot indexes my phone

It isn't getting very hot actually. I have tested heavy DOS attacks and the thing didn't get very hot... It kind of hung, but didn't get very hot. -

Wow, that is great. Is it going to be open source? (I would love to learn from this.
)

I'll see. Perhaps I'm open sourceing the app... I wonder if somebody would buy a web server for a phone. -

Yes exactly. I didn't find the thread anymore... But now, since you pointed it out. This is the thread that inspired me + my university exercise. -
That's insane, pointless and, naturally, completely brilliant. Well done.

Smartphones are actually quite cheap. And you can add a 2 GB flash card to them and use that as webroot

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
It introduces a whole new range of possibilities for hackers and sysadmins. Want to perform a DOS attack on the server? Try phoning it, or sending it millions of texts.
Want to find the faulty server in your rack? Phone it!
This could be bad if they aren't left on silent, can you imagine a DOS attack on 200 phones all being called at the same time? Arrrghh!!!

Think of the USB hub you would need to have them all plugged in!
Unless of course you have them all running via bluetooth :o
200 instances of Activesync? Argh the pain...
