The travelling webmaster - gadgets you use to handle your sites on the go?

Personally I use the iPhone 3gs.

Some apps I've installed to keep track:

- GetClicky for Iphone/mobile. Nice UI for keeping with the traffic - http://m.getclicky.com/
- Pindom.com - Uptime alert - http://www.pingdom.com/services/api-applications/
- Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Foursqure, AIM, Skype

I know some the hard core tech guys have ftp, shell and all sorts of good stuff.

What are you using?

The Droid is pretty nice.  Besides all the usual stuff (web, video, GPS, mail, etc,), it has an SSH client so I could log onto my servers I need to.  I like its thumbpad so I don't have to type on the touchscreen.

So far I have been able to resist the Mobile Always Online scenario and am hoping to keep it that way, it is bad enough carrying around a Mobile Phone.

iPhone 4

Works for me

I got stuck in Amsterdam when the volcano went off (I know, I know... it was hell )

Managed to do everything I needed with my Android phone, some easily available free apps AND take some decent enough 8Meg snapshots of the inside of bars and coffee shops too

TextFree is a good simple text editor for iThingies, Dropbox and TextExpander integration, saves files in .txt format, nice clean interface. Going to look into TextExpander too, now that I think of it.

Just got Gusto also, which has FTP capability, for editing files, but I haven't used it much yet. It was the highest rated HTML editor/FTP app when I got it.

Hardware wise, iPhone/iPad/laptop works quite nicely for me.

I can get by with the iPhone or Android phone for most things.

I'm keeping more and more stuff in the cloud, like Dropbox, Gmail, my own servers, etc. which means there's very little for which I need to actually be on my own desktop or laptop computer.  But a VNC client on my iPad and a fast connection to my desktop at home is almost like being there.

All that said, in a real emergency that required heavy lifting and fast action, I'd be sad without a laptop.  I rarely travel more than a day away without it.

I can do the basics with my iPhone and a netbook. It's a bit of a stretch with the small screens sometimes though. I jailbreak the iPhone and put MyWi on it so that I can tether the netbook over the 3G network. I can then just barely run GoToMyPC to VNC into my work and home machines from the road.

I run Splashtop Remote off my ipad. Basically allows you to run your windows machine remotely.

Interesting pmac!

Bah, think I need to find the funds to get me one.

I just use a notebook and logmein. I find myself so constricted after using my triple monitor setup, I have trouble using it.

I think anything smaller would make me crazy.

TeamViewer it's a free GoTo My PC type application, remote control, file transfer, presentation or VPN. They also have a commercial version, which is expensive and not needed, in myhumble opinion.

I also use Wuala to store important stuff I might need, Evernote, Roboform and Dropbox.

Yeah, basically the same thing as Logmein, free version as well. I tested them both a good bit before going on vacation this past spring.

Logmein was a bit smoother, better framerate and mouse response. I also liked the switch monitor controls where I could still use all 3 desktop monitors at home from the notebook at the beach.
