Woot!

Available in the apps store.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I went with one of the other ones, I don't remember which now. It is nice to have - and I've played a bit, but MAN is it difficult doing anything more than simple commands. VIing an error in a php file is fraught with danger...

How I wish that someone (paging VS) would write a bluetooth hack that allows a keyboard to talk to the phone...

[deregular]

Abso - freakin -lutely, hear ya loud and clear.

- going up a dir is a nightmare as you have to get the full stop from the other menu.
- esc + :q /:w/:x (crazy)

I am sure it will be worth the 5 bux and get me out of strife a few times though.

My favourite though.. I use one of my servers as just a dev server, it doesnt run all day.
It gets switched off at night, coz i cant be bothered securing it, and I have unplugged the keyboard from it,
(not enough desk room) so I can only ssh to turn it off.
For those times that I forget to shutdown -p before i switch off my other machine it is priceless.

side note - have you considered putting your boxes behind something like IPCop so that there's no worry there any longer?
it's really helped me sleep at night 

[deregular]

yeah, not ipcop though.

Its running denyhosts, and of course no root login.
By default freebsd is a fairly locked down OS.

This box is running my cronned spam scripts that Ive been building,
so I kind of want to only keep it running for a small amount of time
per day anyway. Just to be on the safe side.

Sorry, VS has been partying with his friends for the past couple days (labor day weekend, a good friend is going through a divorce and my other good buddy's wife is away this weekend so we were keeping him company and having a "guys' weekend").

This is something I would love to look into when I have the time. It can't be all that hard to port the bluetooth peripheral drivers over from OSX, but that would mean I would need to get my hands on them. I am assuming that those drivers interface only with the kernel and that they are open source? If not, they can be reverse-engineered but reverse engineering non-.NET code is not my strong suit (with .NET you can just use Reflector).

I actually installed Debian's apt package manager on my iPhone, because the repos people are now building for Debian on the iPhone completely kick both the commercial app store and installer.app's collective asses. I have vim with syntax highlighting on my iPhone now, as well as emacs, and ls highlights syntax as well.

Man you're working that thing out... just great. Have you gone to 2.0 yet, or is all it this still 1.4?

With all of that you mentioned, are you hinting that you have a gcc or something and actually compile right to the phone? I'd imagine that THAT is the way to avoid the Apple SDK limitations of bluetooth... but as Nuts has mentioned elsewhere, BT is a fickle lover and may not have what you'd need to talk things other than ... well, talk over it... but I am way out of my depth here, so I have no clue.

[vsloathe]

Yeah, I can gcc compile to the iPhone. I can SSH into my phone (it has openSSH server installed) and manipulate what I want, and install binaries. It's like a full-fledged OS. It's easiest to just compile and then upload to a private repository that I've added to my sources, that way all the icons show up nice and neat, and I don't have to pinch, grab, and poke through a launcher app to find the binary.
