I usually travel with my laptop. There is always some e-mails to write, some documents to read and comment on, or some photos to transfer. Still, I often think about whether it was really necessary to drag along the laptop on short trips. It doesn’t weigh too much, but I usually end up carrying a backpack when I bring the laptop. That may not always be a problem, but sometimes it limits mobility and flexibility.

Richard Widerberg held a workshop today on using mobile python on Nokia phones running Symbian OS S60. He has gathered some links to everything that is needed to get a connection up and running with PD. Now I got a simple script up and running and communicating with Max/MSP through the serial object. It works, but it feels a bit limiting to only have one-dimensional control joystick up/down + number keys for interaction.
