Hi, a pypy phone would be lovely :) Especially if it could take advantage of the graphics processor (OpenGL ES2 shader language), and the programmable DSP chips (eg OMAP3).
btw, python runs on nokia phones (with nokia supplied python, s60 and mamaeo/meego), windows CE phones/pocket pcs, android (see recent pygame android release), and even apple phones (it used to be technically banned from app store, but has run on i* for a long time. I guess the main "python platform" is OLPC, which is still quite interesting. ps. ) On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 10:25 AM, holger krekel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > what do you think or know why Google choose Java over Python for > its Android system?
