I got Texttastic running on my iPad (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id383577124?mt=8) and it's working rather nicely. I have it with me as a backup editing for when something horribly fails and I need to look at some code. But I also use it occasionally for when I have some brainfarts and need to write down some awesome code. It's integrated with my Dropbox so I can just access it everywhere I want to.
But I don't see my self using it a editor on a daily basis, you need to have much more screen real-estate and control over your keyboard and other terminal related commands :p On Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 4:39 PM, Lothar Pfeiler wrote: > Interesting topic. > > iPad makes only fun, if the application is following the design guides > and sticks to simplicity.
