The iPhone can play MP3s while doing anything else, there are GPS Nav apps for the iPhone, and nobody wants to ssh from a phone anyways.

- gloob 17y agoActually, being able to ssh from a phone would be about the only thing that would convince me to get one. But I suspect I'm not exactly representative of the potential customer base.
- Andys 17y agoIt was the exact reason I chose the G1, its generous 5 row qwerty keyboard makes daily use of SSH possible. You can type numbers and symbols in your password easily and quickly, and you get a full 80x25 display.
- silentbicycle 17y ago> and nobody wants to ssh from a phone anyways. Actually, it's pretty handy (when your phone has an actual keyboard). I use pssh on my Palm Centro a couple times per week.
- jamesbritt 17y ago"and nobody wants to ssh from a phone anyways." Really? I got word that my site was down, and was able to shell in and fix it from my G1. Coincidentally, I happened to be at an Android developer meeting at the time. I'll grant that the G1 (etc.) is a more of a hacker phone than the iPhone, but some of us really do like being able to code up a useful app and drop on our phones or easily share it with others, or VNC to a desktop machine to check something, or ssh somewhere to go a fix.
