Looks neat, I bought it.

I'm toying with the idea of getting an aws server and run an ssh client there, to get Emacs and bash. With dropbox installed on the server and an external keyboard -- I could maybe skip my heavy portable?!

Anyone has experiences/advice? [edit: E.g. git/svn integration instead of the Dropbox on the server? Or should I use an ssh app for file sync?]

I thought about that a lot before my last laptop upgrade. If I hadn't been buying a new laptop, I would have done it; but with a new laptop at play, I decided a MacBook Air would have roughly the same weight and far better ergonomics than an iPad with a keyboard.

You are probably correct, but... well, what is the fun in that? :-)

Actually, decoupling the display from the keyboard (iPad with BT KB) could result in a much more ergonomic setup. But in all honesty, the only time I use an iPad for dev is when my air is charging. Even Textastic pales in comparison to a hard keyboard/mouse.

I got an answer that looks good in another place. When I have some more time, I'll experiment a bit.
