Pocket Putty on Windows Mobile

Feb 22

After only a few short days with my Cingular 8125 I continue to be fascinated with Windows Mobile 2005.  I recently stumbled across Pocket Putty and was immediately hooked.  While the application is fairly simple (not to belittle the developer at all), it’s extremely powerful.  It basically lets me open an SSH session with my Linux server and issue commands.  It’s identical to opening an SSH session from your desktop, except you can do it while driving, walking out to check the mail, and any other place you can imagine.

A quick note to the developer, I know how difficult in can be to make money from mobile applications.  This is an application that I would pay anywhere from $15-$25 for.  The reality is it will help people be more efficient and available with managing their servers.  It can be done from almost anywhere (although I’ve only done it over WiFi and not GPRS yet) if a problem arises.  There’s a level of confidence you have when knowing the solution to your next problem resides in your pocket.  Another note to the developer, if you decide to keep it free I’m cool with that too :)
