Slightly off-topic I couldn't find a free SSH Ios app. not that 4-5$ is a big deal, but there are myriad of ssh clients for free on android, no doubt due to different clientele, and different developer sentiments.

Or mostly because all the good SSH clients are open source software, and were created before the Android Market had support for buying applications, so they have just remained free.
