The market for people who want a native terminal on their phone should be roughly equivalent to people who ever want to terminal INTO their phone.

The market already well served by iOS, Android, etc., is people who want to terminal OUT OF their phone and onto a real computer someplace.

What are the real-world tasks you expect to do with the former that you couldn't do, or couldn't do as well, with the latter?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you wouldn't need to SSH in to your phone from another device. You could run something like SQLite locally and access it from the terminal, or write Ubuntu applications that expect services to be available on certain ports.
