I'm going to +1 this- i just got the VPN client working on my original ipad 3g, 
and with prompt, or one of the RDP clients, it's able to serve as a real system 
tool.   Good enough for the call in the middle of the day, while you're out & 
about on a sunday, no where near your computer, to check a cluster that should 
have started working at noon...


(No.. that's *never* happened  before :)


With this, I might even consider getting a bluetooth keyboard, now that I have 
a use for being able to type for real.  Much lighter than my 5 lb. laptop, and 
the keyboard can go into the luggage, vs my travel bag.
