What are the the positive and negative attributes to use iPhone/Android phones to write scripts?

I’d like to buy a new mobile phone which I can utilize my time to do some scripting even when I’m not at my desktop computer.

I heard that you can’t save files to your iPhone unless you jail break it. This maybe a big problem if I want to create some new scripting file. Say I want to create a abc.java and there’s no way for me to save it.

Is it the same case for Android too? Can I create local scripting files on Android phones? Since Android is a linux os.

Is it possible to install java sdk or other sdk (like flex?) on it?

    Forget about it.

    The iPhone is obviously too closed. Android let you do whatever you want (and when not, getting root access is piece of cake) but there is no dev env, only java is installed, available shells are REALLY poor and eventually the keyboard / screen size will drive you mad.

    writting this only answer took me 10 minutes on my HTC dream and I am only willing to do it because I am stuck in a very boring conference.
