I just got an iPhone, and like many other tech people, I'm pissed:
a_ There's no terminal/shell - i think they wanted to lock-down the
phone
b_ There's no Chat feature - they wanted to push people into an
overpriced AT&T scheme
Some people have been doing workarounds:

iPhoneChat
web-based aim proxy

WebShell
web-based ssh proxy over https

And I heard of a few more in the pipes.
Is anyone working on stuff like this using Twisted though?
For a seasoned Twisted programmer, this should be pretty simple...
I've done most of the features of both in other apps based on
twisted , which seems to support both feature sets really really well.
Just wondering/hoping that someone here is planning on releasing some
standalone stuff that people can download and run on their servers
( ssh for security , chatting for aim/icq/jabber not throttling any
one ip - which is happening right now )
