in iPhone SSH clients review: iSSH, pTerm, and TouchTerm on On Message
Only one of these (iSSH) is currently available in the UK App Store - presumably it's the only one to have passed US export certification.

'or whether you are receiving any payment you are receiving for being the ‘media contact’?'

gah. 'or whether you are receiving any payment for being the media contact' would make a bit more sense, I think.

Could you update the FAQ on these pages to explain you and your blog's relationship to Golden Shellback? I think this would make things much more clear for people who are analysing the claims made about the process.

Haha. I know what 'exclusive' means. The point I am making is that gcaptain.com is not only claiming an 'exclusive' but also claiming to have 'reviews', but you're not making it very clear that anything you say should be considered in the light of the fact that you are their media contact as well.

Did you make this fact clear to Tekzilla and Gizmodo? Do they know that the blog they are linking to when they made their announcements is affiliated with the supplier? It's not just a blog linking to another blog, is it. You are acting as a mouthpiece.

Have you made clear whether you have any investment or stake in this technology, or whether you are receiving any payment you are receiving for being the 'media contact'?

If I was being told about a great new camera, I would not much trust an 'exclusive', or a 'hands-on review', from a publication affiliated with the supplier. Would you?

I'm not sure how you can square the claim to an 'exclusive review', in a journalistic sense, with the fact that you registered the golden-shellback.com domain yourself.

This is pretty fishy really.

This was useful, thanks - now I have a trivial way to test with webkit without going to the trouble of rebuilding Epiphany.
