And come to think I'm the weird one.
I've got a blackberry, an eee, an ibm laptop, multiple desktops, and a good server. I carry my phone everywhere, so I get email/sms/gvoice/facebook/msn/yahoo messages there. If I need a computer, I can use my eee, which is almost always in my van, for windows and linux apps. And to top it off, if I need raw cpu power, I can log in at my apartment to my server and 'crappycluster' of ubuntu eualyptus testing.
As per the iPad, are there any "real apps" that offer printing via cups, ssh, vnc/rdesktop or the multitudes that give access to a real machine? Probably not. I'm sure there are on the 3rd party ipod app servers.... But not on the main Apple controlled one
- CamperBob 17y agoIf you're asking about VNC clients, the iPhone with iTeleport (nee Jaadu VNC) is a drop-dead awesome VNC client, and there's no reason to think the iPad won't be even better.
- TheAmazingIdiot 17y agoI guess I think of 'just a vnc client' is somehow missing the mark. The iphone/itouch/ipad are unix devices. Samba has /dev sharing as an option. An app should be able to do something akin to XDMCP login and make it a full fledged computer with access to local storage as a cache to rsync. I mean, people, this is a full touch computer that Apple has dumbed down to a youtube viewing device... And its capable of soo much more.
