I'll be buying the TomTom software slated to come out here very soon.   
Yes, I already have one, but why run around with more than one device?

I use pSSH on iPhone to connect to my personal machines and in  
conjunction with the VPN software, can connect to my office and do  
anything I need to do there from my phone as well.

Not sure what you mean by "web interfaces".  I can do anything except  
flash.

I was able to do a complete support session from right field at Turner  
Field just a couple weeks ago, no problems at all.

I hear you on the tethered plan limits.  However, even with the cards  
for your system the caps are generally 5G/mo.  That will be the cap on  
the iPhone tethering as well (according to rumor).

I as of yet have found nothing I need to do from remote that can't be  
done from the iPhone.  There are a couple odd things like Fabric  
Manager or Hobbit screens that have background colors that don't  
format right for the mobile screen, but work just fine.

I predict the ability to do nearly anything in the near future all  
from your iPhone.  As is the case with pretty much anything Mac, you  
may need to change the way you view  how the job gets done.  The phone  
was put together by a bunch of mac-heads who don't have a problem  
implementing things in a slightly askance way of operation.

Do, however, check out pSSH.  It was the "killer app" I needed to be  
able to justify buying the iPhone, and it has served me well in all  
sorts of situations.
