My ASUS TF101 came in a few days ago, and after playing with it off and on for a couple of days, the battery is STILL a 56%. It's been on and idle ever since the first charge, and I'm extremely impressed. I can't wait to see what battery life is like when my dock comes in.

With all of that said, I'm looking to use it as a mobile work platform. It comes preinstalled with Polaris Office, and the company I work for just switched over to Google for our mail server (which is running beautifully), so I'm all set on those two fronts. However, I'm a web designer and I need to run some sort of text editor, FTP, and SSH clients at the very least.

On my laptop, I normally run Notepad++, FireFTP, and Putty for a smart editor, FTP client, and SSH client, respectively. Are there any similar programs on the Android market that I should check out? I'm more than happy to pay for something decent.

Thanks!

Sorry man, I don't have a whole lot of insight to provide.

I can tell you that ConnectBot works for terminal sessions, including SSH, IIRC. I've only used it a couple of times, but it seemed good.

I use a Nook and an Evo, so I don't really do much on them that would require a lot of typing. Especially not since Swype isn't available for the Nook yet.

I believe that ES File Explorer will connect to an ftp. From what I've used ConnectBot has seemed pretty decent for the few times I need to use SSH(same app as sjwaste).

Not sure on an editor, sorry.

ES File Explorer does support FTP, but I prefer AndFTP as it allows for ftp/sftp/scp/ftps connections. The only editor I use is ES File Explorer's built in text editor.
