its an absolutely EPIC tool.

I use my phone right now for sshing into my home machines and getting analytics, benchmarks, error logs, making spot changes to files, editing users and groups, etc. If you have a smartphone with a foldout keyboard, you're set. The possibility of me being able to do this with urxvt and emacs running on the phone is just awesome. Interacting with postgres on the cli with my phone is a dream as well. Obviously writing out huge statements is a pain, but you're generally just running one liners through to find some info.

I guess I can't see the need to do any of those things on a bus, or on the street. It's extremely rare that I would have to do something that couldn't wait for an hour or two until I'm either at work or home.

Which keyboard would you recommend, I have a Galaxy Nexus, and use to for emergency ssh sessions when I dont have access the computer.

Hacker Keyboard. It will let you send keystrokes via the keyboard instead of needing connectbot.

unless you meant an actual bluetooth keyboard, then its just a matter of foldable vs fixed and what you like more. My dad uses this:

for his nexus 7. Works out pretty well.

If you can carry that, you can carry a light notebook =/

I have one of those keyboards and it's huge -- bigger than my Nexus 7. I've played around with a bluetooth mouse and that keyboard on my Nexus 7 but it still doesn't seem that great for doing real work.
