Wow that definitely simplifies things!  I still think not having the toolbars, menus and zoom will help... I guess I'll work on being able to keep your login in a string instead of logging in manually every time- any other features anyone can think of? Anyone know if I can put the app as paid on the app store and advertise it as a controlled for LinuxMCE without a license from Plutohome?

I've started working on an iOS orbiter; basically it will be a full screen version of the web orbiter like it was loaded through Safari except without
the Safari toolbars, menubar,  multitouch zoom and autorotate as I think they're both a pain to work with when in UI1.
Unfortunately I'm away from home so I can't show the project with the proxy orbiter loaded into it but here's some screen shots...

Here's a web page loaded full screen- the URL is defined by a String that the user can change in settings (below) so that you can use any IP range or DNS server, also you can choose between portrait and landscape modes.

Because this really isn't ideal(Interface is clunky and reloads every 5 seconds) I would like to say that I wouldn't be too opposed to creating a custom interface with the Interface builder if someone can tell me how to send DCE commands to the core with objective-C. Then the app wouldn't have to rely on the web orbiter at all... Also if I do this then I would have to add this app as a specific linuxMCE/Plutohome app instead of a simple browser which makes me wonder about getting a license from Pluto (I'd like to charge a dollar or two to cover the cost of actually getting it onto the app store)...
Any help with the Objective-C, Comments (insults...), Feature Requests, or clarification for the legality issue would be greatly appreciated!
