to me, it's a bit more than not loosing a vim workspace, if you
constantly keep a screen session open, *everything* shows up when you
'screen -d -r'. however, i face another issue with this - you can't
use vim with a touch screen (or i haven't thought about making a vimrc
to suite this use). what i mean is, ':' isn't on the on screen
keyboard and ctrl is almost impossible (which kills switching windows,
redo, and autocomplete among other things).

... but, if you're going to carry around a bt kb, i guess these aren't
really problems.

ps - if you jailbreak the ipad, you don't need to ssh anywhere. also,
you don't really need to know about virtuals to run a vps - it's
behind the scenes (you can look at /proc/cpuinfo and such and
generally figure it out, but) you can pretty much treat it as if it
were metal.

pps -  there is a program called jota for the android that might be
ported to ios since it is oss.
