with an SSH app on iPad, you get both the worlds. Let the cloud crunch the numbers, while your fingers scroll the web.

I've thought about buying the iPad keyboard and turning my linux box (an older dell) into a server where I can ssh into for coding. I ultimately decided against it because multitasking at the time didn't exist, although it was coming. Even with multitasking, it isn't as easy as on a desktop, although the new 4 finger swipe might mitigate that somewhat. Ultimately I can't rely on iOS Safari to render and execute javascript as well as the desktop counterpart, so I don't see myself doing this any time soon.
