Re: [9fans] GSOC: Drawterm for the iPhone

[Jeff Sickel]

A text based environment isn't that interesting, but a 9p transport  
that allows the end user to cache and store files on the device to be  
reviewed through currently provided renderers/decoders (pdf, jpeg,  
tiff, myriad of audio formats, html/xml) would be ideal.  Given that  
we're starting to see more utilities that do similar things but over  
other transport means (http, sync utilities, etc) I think enabling the  
iPhone OS with 9p and a cache stored natively would be a significant  
benefit to future applications.  And with the new APIs for copy/paste,  
a 9p based cache could be a great transport for data synchronization.
