iPhone SSH Clients

August 20th, 2008

Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. Used primarily on Linux and Unix based systems to access shell accounts, SSH was designed as a replacement for TELNET and other insecure remote shells.

From wikipedia

If you need an SSH client for your iPhone you have probably come across the following four alternatives: iSSH, pTerm, TouchTerm, and SSH. To help you choose one that fits you best, here are two reviews that compare them against each other:

Fantasktik

August 20th, 2008

Switching between windows has never been so easy. Fantasktik shows all your windows in a smart and stylish way, giving you a 1-click access to any of them.

From docklandsoft.com

An interesting new task switcher from OS X startup company DocklandSoft has emerged called Fantasktik (try to say that fast 10 times in a row). It basically gives you a Windows Vista-styled taskbar (with task grouping and window previews) that you can position at the top or bottom of your screen.

Personally I am happy with using Witch as my task switcher, but this little application might prove itself as a viable replacement to the Dock if it supports things like overlays showing the number of unread messages etc. Oh well, I’ll just wait for the reviews to drop in. I have a busy day today.
