prometth:

heh. I'm also a senior unix sysadmin. ssh (and software expandability, but specifically ssh) was a HUGE part of my decision to go with the N800 over the iPhone or iPod-Touch.

I'm curious about the device you're beta testing... hopefully, once it's public you can post more info (or send me a private message when the NDA is lifted, since talking about it in these forums might be considered off topic).
