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.
So I thought I'd see if any of of us textmate folk have found a good match.

You didn't mention what sort of stuff you would be writing. But for simple note taking I like PlainText:
http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/plaintext
It syncs with Dropbox and creates plain text files that can be edited in TextMate.
Take a look at
No Sftp yet, but it looks promising.

I use Nebulous Notes (http://nebulousapps.net/notes.html) on my iPhone. It has support for CR/LF, but there's an option to turn it off in the app settings. It also support for multiple fonts (monospace included) and an option for light text on a dark background, which is one of my big must-haves in a text editor.
