Like many others, I rely heavily on my mobile devices to get my work done. I’ve been a user of the iPhone since the original, with a year on a Nexus one android device. I don’t have a strong preference and there are no “religious arguments” to be had with me on platform. In fact, I’d probably choose PamlOS if I had a choice, it’s simple elegance and stability were a comfort to me…it just didn’t make it to modernization. ..but I digress. I’ve chosen to go the Apple route, my machines are all Apple and so the integration makes sense. That being said, there are a huge amount of apps to choose from on all of the major platforms. Here are the ones that I find myself using, either for work or pleasure, on a weekly basis. All of these apps are free and work across iPad and iPhone unless otherwise noted. iSSH - SSH, VNC and RDC client.
