No, it makes perfect sense, if you actually know that there are VNC clients on the phone, but not servers. You should look these things up before saying I'm talking nonsense. Apple is fanatical about controlling access to resources on the phone, even from apps that run on the phone. The result of writing drawterm with Apple's SDK will be a very crippled vnc/ssh type client. > That does leave room for apple to restrict access to camera, location, > orientation, etc. -- but I see no reason why they would.
