Summary
Application used to execute shell commands in iPhone OS. Some of it's features are still missing in 2.x.x firmwares.
Controls
You can send a control-C by pressing the "bullet" key (First press ".?123", then "#+=", then the circle on the middle right), then press the C key. This can be useful when you want to escape out of a long running program such as ping. Control-C can also be accessed with a short Up-Right and Control is a short Down-Right swipe, after which the cursor will turn highlight red, from here press any character q, x, c, A to complete or the delete button to exit Control mode.
Escape is control-[ or a short Up-Left swip, which may come in handy with vi. Tab is control-I or a short Down-Left swip (yay tab completion).
All this keyboard-to-gesture mappings can be reassigned via Preferences dialog. To invoke it, tap and hold on screen, then move finger to "misc" and then to "config".
