First Third-party Native iPhone Application Released

Posted by Zonk on from the first-or-third dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A third-party native application for the iPhone is now available. Gizmodo discusses the real full-fledged iPhone application with a graphic user interface and its own icon in the iPhone home screen. It is not a Web 2.0 app but the real thing. What is it? Ironically enough, MobileTerminal, 'a terminal emulator application for the iPhone. MobileTerminal.app is NOT an SSH client, nor Telnet for that matter. It can however be used to execute a console ssh-client application.' The iPhone dev revolution has just started."

      There are lots of neat things that you could do from the terminal on a multimedia smartphone.

      You can use it to pipe text messages to festival. Then it's like you're actually talking to the other person!

    I think the best use of this app would be to 'cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp' when a telemarketer calls.

    Your post is so original and insightful that I'm sure legions of people are now saying "Gee, I need to rethink my relationship to apple."

    You have answered the age old quesiton: do you want to post to slashdot, or do you want to CHANGE THE WORLD??? Well, I think in this post you have clearly accomplished both.

    Apple fanboys are like people in an abusive relationship, they will interpret everything as a sign that Steve still does love them even while he's beating them with a belt (but it's not His fault! Of course, He's angry! If only they'd bought new Macs every 2 years like Windows users...)

    Oh don't you love the smell of burnt karma in the morning =)
