I am looking into different IRC clients and I want to know what the
best one is for iPhone, free preferably but I do not mind paying a few
bucks if I have to.

http://colloquy.info/ or use a terminal. I recommend Promt or iSSH.
Use ZNC for push notifications.

Mango IRC client for iOS isn't bad. Find it in the App Store.

Remember, IRC is the protocol name (like http/FTP etc) -- you're
looking for an IRC client (just like you would be looking for a http
client (aka web browser)).

Enjoy! Feel free to pm me if you need help

Mango IRC for iOS is AWESOME.

IRC over SSH via the phone would be a horrible idea, very slow....
Better to just use a native iPhone IRC client such as Colloguy.

Palaver is really awesome. Its from on of the ZNC Developers.
Better than Colloquy and Mango.

Thanks for the link, I was unaware of this.    Saw ZNC Developers and
was sold..  Alas it seems push messaging support is coming in the next
version...

*EDIT* Oh nice, from their twitter feed:   version 1.1, which will be
submitted to Apple in the next couple of days.  (as of Feb 6)

terminal is for a computer. it is when you do your stuff by typing
text commands not using graphics. Mostly used by developers in Mac or
Win and by ordinary linux users who want an easy fast way of doing
certain system things.

irc is a text only communication medium BUT it isnt a terminal.

You CAN get a terminal client for irc but that isnt what you are
talking about.
