[PythonCE] PythonCE on Smartphone (WM6)

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Alexandre,

It sounds very interesting. If you have a download available, please
send me (or the mailinglist) a link! I'm still a newbie on the
PythonCE platform, but I do know Python well for 2 years now so I hope
I can use it to develop small apps rapidly for my mobile phone.

Regards,
- Jorgen
