From: Lao Ming on 6 Mar 2010 18:12 Has anyone ever seen a 3rd-Party app for iPhoneOS to reach the shell like Terminal? If it has Darwin, then shouldn't the shell be possible? Without it, I can't imagine ever wanting an iPod, iPhone or iPad.

OK, but the lack of a command-line interface doesn't seem to have hurt iPhone/iPod much. and analysts agree it won't put a significant dent in iPad sales, either. Seems the geniuses at Apple figured out a way to make phone calls and do all sorts of amazing thing without invoking the command line. My-iPhone:~ me$ call mother -bash: call: command not found My-iPhone:~ me$ phone home -bash: phone: command not found My-iPhone:~me$ dial 212-555-1212 -bash: dial: command not found My-iPhone:~me$ man phone call No manual entry for phone No manual entry for call My-iPhone:~me$ Davoud -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm
