One thing I like about my Treo 700w is the physical keyboard. I haven't done it often, but I have used Pocket PuTTy to SSH to some hosts. Here's an iPhone/iPod app to do something similar. Cool-ish. <http://lifehacker.com/5092821/touchterm-puts-a-terminal-client-on-your-ipho ne> http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2008/11/thumb160x_TouchTerm_01.jpg TouchTerm <http://lifehacker.com/5092821/touchterm-puts-a-terminal-client-on-your-ipho ne> Puts a Terminal Client on Your iPhone iPhone/iPod touch only: With Mocha <http://lifehacker.com/398625/mocha-vnc-lite-is-simple-remote-control-for-ip hones> VNC Lite, iPhone and iPod touch users already have a tool for connecting remotely to their desktops, but what about those who like to get things done over a command line? Free iPhone app TouchTerm provides SSH-encrypted terminal access to any Linux, OS X, or even Windows system running a server, making mobile rebooting or service starting over Wi-Fi or EDGE/3G connections possible. The app supports landscape mode, a must for serious two-thumb typing, can save connections for easy access. The $11.99 pro version adds advanced gesture and copy/paste support, amongst other features <http://lifehacker.com/%3ca%20href=> , but the basic free edition can get the job done. TouchTerm is a free download for iPhones and iPod touch models running the 2.0 firmware only.
