Programming on a Mobile Device

In my opinion programming on a mobile phone is a cool idea; but in reality it will have a very limited usage. In fact, I don’t find any important usage of this feature, except having a cool app in my mobile device. 
 

One of the main problems with programming in mobile phone will be that most of the mobile devices have very small screen. Most of the smartphones now have the onscreen touch keyboard, which again reduces the total size of the screen. It will be very hard for the programmers to write something using these screen and keyboard. Next thing will be to compile the code. Compilers now a day are really heavy. They required huge system resource for themselves. If the compiler takes most of the resources of the mobile device, then the mobile device will be very slow. On the other hand, if the mobile OS allocates very limited resources to the compiler, then the compiler can be usable only for developing DOS mode calculator type small applications.

The next problem will be the power. Using most of the resource for compilation needs power, which will be hard for the mobile devices to support.

This cool app will only be helpful for the mobile phone application developers. They will get the benefit of programming on the live platform, rather than using a mobile phone simulator.
