I think, in theory you can add an ssh-client to an iPhone. In practice, it's not an official app, last time I looked, and you might have to jailbreak the phone.

I'd skip this until Apple comes out with something that is smaller than a MacBookAir and bigger than an iPhone but allows attaching a bluetooth-keyboard...

In addition, for opening and handling xterms, a "real" X11 still feels better than OS X (IMO).

Only when I try to draw something in gnome-dia, I wish I had a Mac with Omnigraffle at work... ;-)

The real question is: is there a phone with a keyboard that doesn't such at this specific discipline?

Maybe the Google-Phone: http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/

What specific (if any) VPN-client would you need?

Hate them or love them, I use an iphone, and have access to my machines with ssh. I also can remote desktop into systems (that have appropriate port forwards) for windows machines. There is a VNC client too.

I can ssh from my blackberry, but no vpn that I can find. I just ssh into one system, and ssh on to others inside. Usually only for restarting something that has borked. If I have to do anything substantial, I'll drag out the laptop and the broadband card.
