Posted by kdawson on from the extremely-mobile-sysadmins dept.

  1. A bit early to ask, it seems to me by SuperKendall · · Score: 1, Redundant

    An interesting question, but honestly doesn't it seem like a good idea to wait a month or two longer and see what terminal kinds of apps come out of the iPhone SDK & app store? That's one area I was thinking we'd see several options arrive from, and while the iPhone may not have a "real" keyboard there is much that could be done with completion and a nice wide display.
