If you are a computer guy, like me, then VNC might be an option. Sensei's has a page on it:

If you are not a techy. Well, here's to hoping Apple finally gives Java support to the iPod :salute:

I blushed inwardly to recall the ignorant thoughts that had gone through
my mind before, when I had not realized the true worth of Black 1."

It's a good thing that hope springs eternally because that's how long you'll be waiting for Java on iOS.

How in the works is it, really? I know that WMS took a sabbatical to develop it, and made some progress. But that sabbatical is over. Anybody know if he is continuing development? Or, better yet, an ETA?
