Bonjour Fellow Bloggers,
I recently bought a Palm Treo 750v from Ebay for a mere £60, and am quite pleased with it. Despite having to use a product made by Microsoft (Windows Mobile 6), it is not too bad.
Anyway, lets get to the chase. It is a good phone, but my main problem is the fact that it has an awkward sized screen (240x240) meaning that it is very difficult to find applications which actually fit this obscure size.
So, I am on a quest to find an SSH client which works and fits the screen properly, with no avail. Here is a list of SSH clients I have tried (and failed) already, but I will evaluate them based on aesthetics :-
ZaTelnet
It is a nice looking program, and has various settings, to adjust screen sizes et al. But as per usual, I couldn't get it to fit my 240x240 screen on my Treo. Besides, even if I could, the program costs $19.99. By the way, Contrary to its name, it supports SSH. :)
PocketPutty
Akin to its Windows counterpart, it appears to be a very good client. But once again, you've guessed, it evidently doesn't support a 240x240 screen. Another bonus is that this client is free (as in beer and speech).
Some people have claimed to have it working fine on a Treo 750(v), if you are on of them, I would be interested in hearing from you.
Token2Shell
This is another shareware application, which to be blunt, is shit. It doesn't support the 240x240 screen size and the whole interface looks horrible. Also, the program is horribly overpriced, I assume that they actually expect people to pay $49.95 for this mobile application, which is quite laughable. At least programs like PocketPutty are FREE and don't support all models
The End
So, if you are reading this and know of an SSH application which works sufficiently with a phone which has a 240x240 screen, feel free to comment. If I was a good programmer, I could implement the feature into PocketPutty, but I am not.
I refuse to believe that there isn't an SSH client which supports Treo's badly sized screen, yet I have been persistent and searched Google and forums etc.
