Has anybody done any Python programming for Symbian phones (PyS60)? If so, what kind of applications have you made?

A few years ago I half-wrote, half-copy-pasted a simple script
that continuosly read GPS locations (via Bluetooth) and sent them
to a web server. The locations were then graphed with Gmaps.
Done some work for a client that involved the S60 Apache web
server, calendar and contacts integration, and some AJAX on top.
Can't go much more into detail.
That would be cool if you were on a trip - you could send
updates every now and then so people could keep track of where you
are on your trip. If you extend it, you could also send photos from
the phone along with the GPS coordinates where it was taken, which
would also be displayed on a web page.
@enfors - I did that very
thing back in 2003 - created an online flash site for a boat trip,
they sent GPS coordinates live so ppl could see where they were
currently, and they also sent pictures w GPS coordinates over MMS
that were update live to the website and appeared on the map.
sorry to say the server it's hosted on is not live ATM
(http://aware.uiah.fi/veneretki), some tidbits can be found with a
google search

@akiville - Impressive! That's how technology is meant to be used.
