I apologize for this being a bit off-topic, and I ask this of some 
clients when they want to access their Citrix servers from their 
iPhones, but why would one want to do something of this nature on a 
device that you'd literally need binoculars to be able to see the screen?

For a short time I dabbled with an SSH app on my Droid X so that I could 
connect to and interact with Linux servers that I've deployed, but found 
it all but impossible to see the screen thus rendering the application 
nothing more than something taking up space on my device. Now, it's a 
different story if the device is an iPad or Galaxy tablet device, but a 
phone?
