- xero69, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30The GUI appears to be a command line... I's cornfused Cleetus!
- merr, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25Way cool. You can download it here: http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/
- colincornaby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Thank god. Now we're going to see some real cool stuff for the iPhone. Apple needs to wake up and start supporting this stuff.
- DoubleClickAlex, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19"Real Thing" is trademarked?
- CCB0x45, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16lol its me in the video.... I really didnt expect the video to go that far, I made it in 1 try on a macbook webcam... thanks to everyone who helped from #iphone-uikit (pin, kroo, lednerk, darkton, NerveGas, natetrue, and more) I guess I do weird ***** with my tongue when trying to concentrate, the macbook reverses your view kinda lol.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13It's not about the practicality of the app, it's about people having made one with nothing other than assumptions and reverse-engineering. Though even this could have some amount of utility.
- colincornaby, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Eh? The keyboard doesn't take up that much space, and you still have more space for the terminal than you did on the Nokia...
- Zbrah, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12"JesusPhone".
Hah,nice. - Billions, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Fortunately, you can save critical screen space with acronyms like "lol"!
- Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Because it was submitted 10 minutes ago...
- JimmyIkon, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11Uh oh... where is nokia boy now. he won't be happy to hear that the iphone has a terminal too.
- zdiggler, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8By Coke or Pepsi?
- PathDaemon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I have this installed on a friend's iPhone, and it's actually pretty awesome. Works exactly like it should. Smooth, stable, and well-integrated into the phone (with the sliding keyboard, bump scrolling, etc.) Props.
- Billions, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9From a stupid iPhone user: That apostrophe you used in the word "it's" forms an unecessary contraction of "it is," which is incorrect usage in this case. Plus you're ***** bitter-sounding.
- TheCount, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Well good luck with that. Supporting open source (and free) software on the phone is the last things they want, and the last thing AT&T wants, not when they can try and charge you $3.99 for a ringtone version of a song you probably already own and $9.99 for Tetris, which you can get free just about everywhere except on locked down cell phones.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5WTF happened to the icons of the other apps?
- stalefries, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7What? you're calling the launch a flop? I understand the rest that you said, but they shipped a lot of phones.
- Silthrim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I figured he was trying not to drool over this new app.
- PathDaemon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5He is t3h 1337 h4xx0ar, of course. Or just went crazy with theming.
- timmerk15, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Plus, soon you can have zoom just like Safari, or just bigger font size.
- stalefries, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3And it seems to have the same amount of space as a boring terminal has, so it's not really that different. The iPhone has a really high pixel density.
- wilhoitm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Does vi work?
- ilgaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Just wait for a "security update", you will see how much Apple supports it :)))
- CCB0x45, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3not yet, we are working on vt100 support, its open source so anyone can contribute!
- TheCount, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I love when people knock the iPhone like Apple made a concentrated effort to offend them personally. Get over yourself. This is America, if you don't like something, move the ***** along.
- Stevanoski, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I'm waiting until the first native american phone comes online.
- blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You obviously never tried J2ME development on that POS (especially with v1 firmware which was the most common one at the time).
- pinheadj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'll throw another vote on a port of ScummVM. I'd love to play some Day of the Tentacle on this thing.
- Icebird, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Finally real progress in the iPhone hacking community. Hopefully this will stop useless efforts at unlocking the iPhone, and more at creating applications for it.
- timewarp424, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4For those that care about the iphone, this is a big step forward in usability. Whether it flopped, apple is running the same commercials, or whatever else bugs you about the iphone, just stop reading these submissions(it's obvious you don't like it), and let those that enjoy this news .. do that.
- crazybrit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2lol, irony, ***** first comment spammer
- rebotfc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3vote for an irc client
- sishgupta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_Emulator
I'm surprised that a whole 27 people are THAT confused. - jkoke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wow. Did you really find this story with Tech Tray™ Version 2.0? Because for a second there, it looked like you were spamming dig comments advertising some lame ass Windows plug-in.
- Yarnage, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ford and Chevy cars _do_ suck
- CCB0x45, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I skinned the other icons with a Louis-Vuitton theme, cause I gotta be gangsta' haha... I like customizing stuff I use.
- CCB0x45, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4It can do ssh, the binaries needed are located on the googlecode page! Have fun with it!
- kolywater, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3man, everyone is so impatient. i keep hearing people say "so what does this mean for the average user?" just shutup. these guys are reverse-engineering everything - this ***** takes a lot of time and many hours of tinkering. the fact that this is a native app is a huge step, and even more incredible is that it's hosted on google code. sure, it's just a "terminal" app now, but the developers are making incredible progress. even if you absolutely abhor the iphone, apple, or consumer culture in general, you've got to give these guys credit. what's more, this kind of ingenuity is good for the community as a whole because each day they're stripping off another layer of lock-in.
- CCB0x45, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you single tap the top view it hides the keyboard on the latest version so you can see the full screen...
- ninetimes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you ask me, the first thing someone needs to do is make a nice GUI for getting these apps onto the phone. Something stable and relatively safe, so that morons like me can use it without fearing they'll brick their fancy phone.
- invader, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3It's a sad, sad truth.
This is one of the primary weaknesses of capitalism. Companies thwart innovation for an easy buck. - blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Now when do we get a port from some Open Source VOIP client? AT&T's gonna be so pissed.
- slundal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is a Terminal application! Of course the GUI is command line.
- ilgaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't hate iPhone necessarily, it is a good PDA with some good multimedia support.
I hate those fascists who never, ever paid for OS X in their lives and happily digging down any comment criticizing a device which they would NEVER be able to purchase (yea, I know them) for valid reasons.
As a pure Mac user didn't touch anything "PC" for years, I am ashamed of using same computer/setup as these people. - Icebird, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What someone needs to do now is make an unofficial SKU and GUI template.
- ilgaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1you need actual SDK to do any kind of VOIP or you will be plain binary hacking device for a thing which will be disabled in next update along with trojan claims.
- locojones, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Four more words....***** buried as lame.
- jkoke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Jesus Christ responds: "No."
- ilgaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh an actual developer. Dear Developer, no misunderstandings, we actually loved the news, we are just protesting a device not having a public SDK in 2007 and people spending their precious development time for "hacking" instead of coding freely with an open and free SDK.
Especially this sites "Apple" (!) community really made half of the people "hate" iPhone while they were happily ignoring it since it doesn't fit their needs.
