Re: iPad and font sizes?

Get used to

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) { }

If you haven't already. ;-)

Sounds good... I agree with other people that there should be a lock
terminal size option so that if you set it specifically at 80x24 (or
whatever), you can zoom in, pan around without it messing with your
terminal size.

Ideally for me, however, would be to use 100% of the iPad's real
estate (portrait or landscape) by setting the terminal dimensions to
whatever the font size allows.

Unicast me a message if you want any help testing out, I've written a
couple iphone/ipad apps so could help a bit.

thanks,
rob
