On: IPhone App Store Has Launched

[_bbks]

Anyone know if there's going to be a terminal/ssh app that you can use without jail breaking your iphone?

Would be excellent for a spot of emergency server admin when away from the desk :)

I can't find one. Which sucks because I had figured there was no point me writing one because someone else was going to. I figured someone would hack http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/ and make it an AppStore application.

I commented on their wiki earlier asking if they were going to do it, no response as of yet though.

I wonder if apple will have any problems with it?

apple should have no problem with an ssh app. i'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone (maybe http://www.rovemobile.com/products/networkadministration/ssh...) gets around to releasing one (likely won't be free).

I would expect that they're under pressure to avoid offering apps that might cut into AT&T's business, such as Skype or an IRC client. An ssh client would be about as good as an IRC client.

Might be an SSH app. Sure as hell will not be a Terminal app (unless if you jailbreak...)
