I'm not sure if we can come up with a test iPAD; it's possible. Good point about the distribution. I'd imagine it has to go through the iStore. I don't know if the iSSH fellow would be interested in bundling the X2Go client. That would save us having to deal with the iStore but also remove the possible revenue stream. I do not know if there is any free / open source mechanism within the Apple ecosystem.
I'll also push back to some of the folks who are asking us and see if they have any suggestions. Thanks - John _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
