[TxMt] Re: TextMate for the iPad

[Matthew Winter]

Hi,

Why not have TextMate split into 2 distinct parts.

	1. The GUI on the iPad
	2. The plugins, files, repository, etc, on a remote server, accessible via SSH

This way you would get best of both worlds.

The iPhone already has SSH, VNC clients etc, which I am sure iPad versions will be created. So another alternative would be to access TextMate remotely.

Regards
Matthew Winter

Without that, there's nothing left that something like Pages couldn't do just as well. And, due to both technical and political limitations, iPhone (and by extension, iPad) apps are not extendable.
