    Been using it for years on the iPad. It makes it possible for me to modify web sites quickly without the need for a full blown workstation. It has a really useful programmers keyboard - which is responsive to whether I have a keyboard plugged into my iPad. It also has an easy to use file transfer function that allows you to download, edit and preview your changes locally before uploading them.
