I'm looking at the many iPad text editors and wonder which would work best with textmate. I would prefer also to use Dropbox, so compatibility with DB would be a plus. I currently use Textmate + Dropbox across a mini and a MBP and the sync feature is really nice.

Problems with iPad that I've seen discussed is that they may force CR/LF, or do not handle UTF-8 correctly (scrambling characters), or match Windows users better than Mac.

You didn't mention what sort of stuff you would be writing. But for simple note taking I like PlainText:

It syncs with Dropbox and creates plain text files that can be edited in TextMate.
