I feel a bit guilty that my negative post is the top post, instead of a post discussing Mosh itself, most especially considering that Keith's responses throughout this thread have been quite elucidative and creditable. However I still think we should approach something as fundamental and important as remote access to our machines with great caution -- I'll be sticking with the tools tried and tested for years (and recommended by those I trust) for the foreseeable future.

That said, Mosh does seem pretty interesting, -- and by golly, considering the terrible 3G speeds I get on my Android phone and how often the 'connectbot' app acts up, I will surely be giving this a try when I get time later this week.
