- jodrellblank 17y agoThe iPhone EULA (or maybe app store agreements) prohibit scripting and interpreting, but if you have a jailbroken one you can install Python (search for Python in Cydia). Coding using the iPhone keyboard isn't much fun, and as it's unsupported there are limited APIs - but there is a Python/Objective-C package, and a sample GUI app which loads a long list from a data provider (with full scrolling), and with a jailbroken phone and SSH, you can upload and edit remotely and so on.
- nileshk 17y agoI wish the iPhone supported Bluetooth keyboards (or some form of external keyboard). It would make using SSH and such much more pleasant. Maybe someone will use the external peripheral framework in OS 3.0 to add an external keyboard. I've seen one hack that did add a keyboard. Does either of the Android phones support Bluetooth keyboards?
- Zaak 17y agoAndroid doesn't yet support the bluetooth profile you'd need to pair with a keyboard. I hope that full bluetooth support will be in an Android update later this year, but I don't think anything definite has been announced.
