Yes, Thank you, David. Gives me hope of ios vim.

I love vim and I love my ipad. Since getting the latter, I've spent most of my working time on it, but I haven't been able to use vim, and I feel crippled without it. There are some good editors out there, but they're not vim.

And regarding networking, of course, when I got my iPad up and running, I signed up for Dropbox. But I've just given SugarSync a try and I am impressed. You can synchronize from within you're existing file system. You don't have to set up a special folder. I think I will find more that I like.

A couple of my apps, both from Readdle, an ios software developer in Ukraine, come set up for a range of networking services, including google drive, as well as the two already mentioned.
