Better Terminal Emulator Pro: Very nice Terminal emulator.

This terminal emulator I have been using for a while.
It is very similar to the standard Terminal Emulator that ships with Cyanogen's ROMs.

Some of the changes I have noticed that it has a nice colours (like Linux) on the CLI.

Useful things you can do with this app is connect to SSH/telnet servers, diagnose your network connection (using tools like netstat and ping).
Basically use it to call Busybox commands with a Unix look and feel environment.

I normally use this to debug my applications by calling logcat or bugreport. Then you can pipe it to a text file on your SD card like so:
# su
# logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

Of course doing that requires root and you probably want root to make the most out of this application.
