I'm working on a multi-protocol IM web interface for iPhone using twisted. I'm sure it'll be a few months until I'm finished. -Mikeal On Jun 30, 2007, at 9:09 PM, Jonathan Vanasco wrote:

I just got an iPhone, and like many other tech people, I'm pissed:

a_ There's no terminal/shell - i think they wanted to lock-down the phone b_ There's no Chat feature - they wanted to push people into an overpriced AT&T scheme

Some people have been doing workarounds: re: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/06/25/aim-and- ssh-coming-to-an-iphone-near-you-sort-of

iPhoneChat web-based aim proxy think twisted-words http://www.publictivity.com/iPhoneChat/

WebShell web-based ssh proxy over https http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mressl/webshell/

And I heard of a few more in the pipes.

Is anyone working on stuff like this using Twisted though?

For a seasoned Twisted programmer, this should be pretty simple... I've done most of the features of both in other apps based on twisted , which seems to support both feature sets really really well.

Just wondering/hoping that someone here is planning on releasing some standalone stuff that people can download and run on their servers ( ssh for security , chatting for aim/icq/jabber not throttling any one ip - which is happening right now )
