Where or even what gets done isn't that important to me, I'm just
tossing ideas out. Drawterm on the iPhone would be nice for me, since
I have one, but I have no idea how many Plan 9 users have one. Nor do
I know how many have a G-1 for that matter.
In my experience, these 'wow-factor' apps for phones get a lot of
initial attention, but are never used seriously. Not to sound like a
Negative Nancy, but how much utility will everyone really get out of
such a port?
