After PHP for Pocket PC comes Python! Django is an open source web application framework based on MVC (Model View Controller paradigm for development of GUI), written in Python. Now writing web applications with Python is possible right away inside of your Windows Mobile Pocket PC device (phone or PDA)!

Clearly Windows Mobile is not the best just for end users but also for developers...

Python is a langauge used increasingly in open source software developent projects and it makes it possible to create software that can run in all platforms. Example is the best podcast downloader in the world, that is written in Python and runs on Mac, PC and Linux. Recently Python is used also for web application development although PHP still is a leader and most widely used technology. Having Django on Pocket PC means that developers can be productive also when they are away from computers... and it proves once again how versatile Windows Mobile is!
