Well I'd imagine that development of anything on x51v would be very difficult given that it is very hard to input text. Also despite the specs, the PPC isn't very fast it seems. I saw pocket IE good enough that it is like desktop browsing but after getting the PDA in my hand I've discovered that everything is not for the best. The slow speed gets to me, so basically a lot of the features are good only if I need them rather than wanting them. Usually I can walk to a computer and do what I want faster than trying to get a good WiFi signal for my PDA and then trying to navigate to do stuff.

Anyway, I apologize, it is not the purpose to question your motive but to answer your question, and as far as I know it is not available today but technically it could be feasible. A lot of the servers like MySQL and such are written in very portable C code. However the effort involved in writing PPC ports of even very-portable server software is probably not worth it for any one person.
