And you could do a lot of other things besides.  scp files in/out,
sync contacts, etc.  Possibly find the phone if it gets stolen.  And
don't forget apt-get dist-upgrade.

It would also be nice to have little gui apps running on the phone
that run ssh underneath to contact my machines out in the world to
manipulate things.  Set up a mythtv recording, monitor machine status,
etc.
