Which links weren't working?

As far as the display it's possible not everything will work quite as expected. cPanel probably wasn't designed with mobile devices in general in mind. I doubt they've redesigned things for the iPad. The display should work as expected in general, but it wouldn't surprise me if a few things were off due to the way cPanel was designed.

I generally use my Macbook for this type of thing as well. I just would like to use my iPad because it is more convenient to take it out at Starbucks for a quick update to the site rather than starting up the Macbook which will take a minute.

I agree. We're thinking alike. For now I think we have to do what we can with what's available. Some of the code editors are off to good starts and I think there are a few more coming. If we look back in 6 months or a year things will be different.

Same for using some sites. A lot of sites still aren't mobile friendly, but with the increase in smart phone use and now the iPad and tomorrow all the other tablet devices you'll probably see more consideration by websites in regards to mobile browsing.

I want to do the same things as you with my iPad. At the moment I think we're still in waiting mode for the apps to get there. Remember it's not even 6 months yet since the iPad was released.

I think the slow development maybe has to do with Apple withholding the potential in developers. They are regulating the development of these apps way too much with a supposed "iron fist".

Apple literally needs to loosen up a little and let developers make these apps so I can start developing my sites on my iPad and mobile devices so I can FULLY use my VPS and CPanel.

Apple certainly wants to control their system, but I think the current state of iPad apps has more to do with people only being able to develop for it for a few months. You do have to give people some time to write apps after all.

Are developers being limited in what they can do? Possibly, but more likely is the time factor.

We've been talking about code editors here. I've seen a number of code editors that all look like they have potential. None is quite there yet, but not because they can't be there. For example most of the editors that have FTP seem to lack syntax highlighting. Yet there are a number of editors that have syntax highlighting, but don't offer connection to a web server. That's an indication the developers haven't had time to add all the features they want to add rather than an indication they can't add those features.

Many of the code editing apps also are reviewed as crashing a lot or not working like they should. Again probably more of an issue with time than what Apple does or doesn't let them do.

I wonder even if the networks will support this FTP or CPanel like app. I assume FTP or CPanel uploads/downloads will take a lot of data. Will the networks support this high traffic activity? Its worth a look I guess.

As much as large your web site or web application

I know for example iPhone has a 200MB cap and I usually use FTP or CPanel to upload a lot of large JPEG files. This might be an issue and I hope developers from the hosting companies can address it.

That cap is based on how much you're paying. I'm still on the unlimited plan so it shouldn't be an issue for me. I think you're right though that it could affect some people based on the bandwidth they pay for and what they're trying to upload.

I saw a few hosting providers who have mobile applications today to manage the accounts. While some suppliers devote mobile applications for managing accounts.
