Question for Android Users

[Misanthrope]

Hello everyone.

So I've been thinking of purchasing a smart phone, although I know virtually nothing of their capabilities.

I was curious if it was possible to write documents/scripts and upload them onto my website straight from my phone.

I essentially want a phone that could best emulate my linux (text-editing and ftp. Even better it has a terminal/Command-line feature), or a phone useful for web-developers.

Would the Android be able to do this?

yes, you can use QuickOffice or DocumentsToGo to create text documents.

Great. And would I be able to upload them via ftp?

Android has several different apps available for FTP. A quick search on the Android market shows around five different apps.

If you want flexibility, look no further than Android. Welcome aboard

Here's some resources to help you with your research.

Aside from the android market, there's some 3rd party markets you can check out as well, plus plenty of sites that do app reviews.
