I remember the idea of "cellphone as a server" being around as far back as in Symbian times. Nokia Mobile Web Server, more than just an idea, actually was an Apache port capable of loading modules and running Python scripts on your phone (e.g. in order to access the camera) and serve dynamic pages on your DDNS-reachable mymobilesite.com subdomain.
