  1. gprs lag. by gl4ss · · Score: 3, Informative

    is something that makes cheap use of these remote use programs quite a pain for anything except emergency(that and the small screen too). much more convinient to have programs that have the interface on the phone..

    irc and others are nice to have on phone though, gprs pricing usually ends up being cheaper than calling or sending sms messages too(if you can arrange the other person to be on irc as well).

  2. PDA and VNC by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative

    We've been trying to get a Compaq Ipaq working with VNC over the GPRS network here in the UK for a while now. Unfortunately, O2 our provider, is doing something crazy with NAT which breaks our ability to form a VNC connection. This was supposed to be my team's support device to take down the pub with them when they were on out of hours support but...

    My Samsung phone has had a Java VNC client for quite some time already, odd that this would make news. Though that phone looks nicer than mine

    i have used this putty port for a while, but i am now using the telnet/ssh client by mochasoft, commercial, but functioning way better than the basic putty port listed in the article.

    I am just about to order the T-Mobile Sidekick (a.k.a. the Danger Hiptop). It has an actual keyboard, and an ssh client is promised (a beta is available with the SDK, which is available through the developers program).

    I've been SSHing on my Samsung (PalmOS - with TGssh) for a couple of months now . . . it's a freaking godsend - no more macerena of cell-phone, palm, blackberry and laptop.

    now if it just had an mp3 player . . .

    You can do that natively with Opera on the P800. Their small-screen rendering is _that_ good.

    VNC works pretty well over GPRS actually. As does Terminal Services.

    I'v been running TopGun SSH for years on my 3Com Palm Pilot. Originally, I ran it over CDPD with a Minstrel, although entering shell commands via Grafiti was painful. With my Treo 300, I now have a "real" keyboard and unlimited data so I can use it without worrying about how many packets are sent back and forth.

    You are enjoying the beautiful views from a mountain top at 3000m, enjoying the outdoors, hiking (one of my favorite activities), and being away from it all.

    Yet you had to login to your server at home from your fucking cell phone?

    Man, I bring my cell phone with me but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER use it to login, surf the web, check email, do whatever, while out enjoying what nature has given us.

  16. Danger Hiptop has that and a KEYBOARD by britrock · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok, so right now its only for the developer builds, but it will be released by the end of the summer. I run the developer OS builds on my hiptop every day. The ssh client is AWSOME! It is even easy to use because of the qwerty keyboard. If some one has some space on a server I can send some screen shots.
