Lets say you need to build and test a cool new OpenSolaris app and all you have is an iPhone. What do you do?

It turns out you can access advanced Sun servers and reserve a test zone using Safari and use SSH terminal apps like TouchTerm (free) all from an iPhone. Granted, this isn't the most ergonomic environment, but if you just need to kick off a new build or test run or fix that one character typo that caused your build to fail, it's fine. And it's amazing that a little handheld device can control big servers around the world.

(Now, unto remote terminal access using VNC :)
