The administration's proposal to sell 500 MHz of radio spectrum to "4G" expansion is ill advised at best and at worst a boondoggle that will exact untold harm to the citizenry of this country. By selling off the citizen's spectrum our national security will be compromised through the loss of room for military radar, telemetry, navigation, and communications systems and public safety will be put at risk through reduction in spectrum available for police, fire, EMT, public works, SCADA, and marine safety. By taking away broadcast spectrum which allows the consumer to view free broadcast content, they will be forced to go to pay services such as cable/4G to get their previous free content. Scientific advancement and technological innovation in radio/wireless, remote sensing, and others require spectrum available for experimentation. Spectrum for experimentation will become ever more scarce if big blocks of it are sold off to billion dollar corporations. Instead of implementing this bogus plan based solely on short term thinking...lets think of recapitalizing existing wireless spectrum over the long term by using more efficient protocols, standards and spectrum sharing. Government/TELECOM takeover of the public's spectrum should be resisted to the utmost. If the public's interest is compromised for big business; what's next - Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Acadia, Grand Tetons, Statue of Liberty, public schools... ??? Beware before we sell off our national patrimony for the profiteers.

ConnectBot on Android with an HTC Hero works fine for my mobile SSH needs. I use it nearly every day. However my needs are simple; simple command line stuff and reading my email with pine (yes pine) to a NetBSD server (sdf.org).
