There is always the possibility of leveraging the jailbreak, which would also let us possibly do something better than just drawterm. FUSE was ported to the darwin kernel, I don't see why 9P can't be. But I doubt google would want anything to do with that. Still a decent side project for someone who really wants to do iPhone+Plan 9 development. > > - erik > >
