VNC, as well, though it's a bit unintuitive to use VNC with touch. It
works, but it ain't perty like a mac.

Jeremy, do you have any idea if X11 will be on the just announced
iPad? I'm considering getting one, but I already have an iPod
Touch and a Kindle. Having a bigger screen for some of what the
Touch does (video and HTML mail with links) would be nice, but I'm
not really interested in getting into a new (and no doubt DRM
encumbered) ebook ecosystem.
But being able to pop up Terminal, ssh somewhere, and use X11 would
be a compelling feature on an iPad. Otherwise, I might just get a
new iPod Touch to replace my 2 year old one, since it's far more
portable than the iPad.
Since iPad runs iPhone OS (the OS that iPhone, iPod touch, and now
iPad runs), there is no reason to believe Apple X11 will appear on
the iPad unless Apple explicitly makes a version of it for iPhone OS
running on iPad. Same goes for ssh, etc. That said, there are apps
that already provide ssh functionality for iPhone OS, and would
certainly work on iPad.
