On what?
iPhone's Safari is good enough to play that game as is, supprting 
Javascript, CSS etc, mostly same as desktop.

Would be neat to run a game on it.

Joey,

  Very interesting. I have an older iPhone (but with 
the new 2.0.1
software) which I've opened up using the "PwnageTool" -- a slightly
scary process. But it does allow you to run unix tools on your iPhone,
and ssh into it from your Mac via Wi-Fi, use scp to bypass 
iTunes and
download arbitrary stuff to your phone, and also run some applications
not yet on iTunes, like MxTube so you can save YouTube clips locally.
  I added pTerm but haven't used it yet -- but iSSH 
looks like it
may be better. So this should allow, for example, me to run J in 
the 
console mode by logging into my University desktop. But the really
great breakthrough will be a way to run jwd. I'd really love to have
that available.
                                              Patrick

I meant to add to my remarks that this whole project took less 
than half an 
hour when I became bored with the conversation in a coffee 
shop... So the $5 
application was selected, downloaded, configured (for 3 
systems), and used 
with minimal effort.

In landscape, the tiny font only displays 80 columns, but line 
wrap is 
handled very nicely so longer lines work out OK. Also, the 
terminal (VT100 
including vi support) has a buffer to remember a few screens 
of the session. 
That coupled with .jhistory makes it easy to develop (fix bugs 
in) a line of 
j.

I think Eric's point about a personal web server is very good 
too, and easy 
to do in the same environment that provides jconsole - well, 
most such 
places... One of my jconsole systems is in a shell account on 
a machine 
provided by my DSL supplier - I don't have permission to 
configure a web 
server there, but jconsole is very handy.

If anyone is interested, the application I bought is from

http://www.zinger-soft.com/

and is published through iTunes. The author maintains a Google 
discussion 
group which may have some good discussions (although I haven't 
yet explored 
them...)
