Apple Perhaps the weirdest creature to come out of the iPhone 2.0/3G launch paraphernalia is the iPhone Configuration Web Utility. It is a Rails app, downloaded and installed on your local machine. It literally starts a server on port 3000, as a service using WEBrick on Windows and as a launchd job using Mongrel on Mac.

Wow, the iPhone actually *hosting* a Rails app. I'm smiles all over!

It is hosted on your PC, not the iphone.

I stand corrected.
