Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:21:54 +0000 http://www.evardsson.com/blog/?p=236#comment-430 what you say is a true story... Twinkle was release on app store on July 17th. It was a big need for me to have that. Although, I like twitterific pretty well. Personally I can't live without NemusSync. Synchronizes all of your google calendar events with your phones iCal. This is something you can't even get from mobileMe. A note about Terminal though. The apple SDK won't let you create apps that run in the background in any fashion. To some this is a limitation. To others it appears that apple is protecting their product. Making sure people don't write apps that suck up battery life and reduce the users experience. I have mixed emotions about this but all and all, We won't be seeing things like SSH on a legit phone for some time if ever. Additionally due to licensing I believe Apple won't let you write an application that uses software under certain open source licensing like the one SSH is under. I believe this means that if you want an SSH client in tandem with your terminal app you are screwed unless you are jailbroken. At this point I think there is going to be a place for development in both worlds. I think it depends on how high you rate on the nerd scale though. what you say is a true story…
