A proper keyboard is half the rent.  I need to investigate some 
PS/2-to-USB-to-BlueTooth or whatever to get a proper keyboard for the 
VT220 emulator on my iPad, though I suspect that that would show up some 
deficiencies in the emulator.

Brian Schenkenberger I believe has a program which tests how good the VT 
emulation is.
