- Landscape and portrait mode.
- Connect to multiple sites at once.

Guide Review - iSSH - iPhone App Review
iSSH works great as an SSH client for the iPhone. It connected to my servers without a problem and as able to read and send the keys. I couldn't get the login commands to work, but that was a minor problem and may have been because of my server.
Some other issues I had were common to most iPhone SSH apps:
- The font size didn't stay consistent
- Text would slide below the keyboard and be inaccessible
I also don't like that it breaks the connection if you switch out of the app. But this is standard iPhone behavior.
