What is mobile terminal, what does it do.
Any comments, info or screen shots or instruction on how it works would be helpful.
 
Well, it's a unix terminal for the mobile OS X on the iPhone. It works very much like a desktop terminal, providing a BASh like shell.

It's a terminal emulator for your iPhone, hence Mobile Terminal. Check Cydia for more info?

On your Mac, go to /Applications/Utilities/ and launch Terminal.

Mobile Terminal is the same, but for the iPhone, hence "Mobile" Terminal.

Yeah, I was asking if Google didn't work for some reason. :)

Close, it's an emulator. It emulates some of the functionality but you can't ssh from it, etc.
