Sure, but that's not telnet. I would assume you could make a similar tool for debugging SPDY too.

Palm/HP uses JavaScript/Node.js in WebOS and I've heard some rumors that they're hiring. Also, any JS related to HTML/CSS is always running in WebKit, so that's a job where you can ignore IE completely.
