Pythonista on iOS is a neat piece of kit if you enjoy hobbyist Python development.
Ver 2.0 exposes obj-C APIs so you can look up phone battery status, read in current GPS location, interact with Bluetooth devices (e.g., read in BPM from a BT heart rate monitor).
On the newer iPhones, you can also tie scripts to 3D touch shortcuts which makes app-replacement py scripts plausible. I spent a couple hours writing a decent Japanese ebook reader with auto-generated translations shown side-by-side.
