There's something I want, but is it made?

[Cloudane]

There's been problems with production of late

Oh god *falls over laughing*

Uhh... sorry for the derail, I actually have no idea...

I may very well end up going for something small with a USB to Serial adapter, but the main reasoning is, it's another bit of kit to lug around / remember / get lost.

Hot-melt glue it onto the side of the case?

I use a Dell mini 9 running Win7 with one of those FTDI adapters. The battery lasts a couple of hours when I'm in frugal mode even though it's a couple of years old. I even have a pair of work trousers with a large enough pocket in which said mini fits.

The site I work on has 6 separate buildings each with multiple switch stacks spread across a square mile or so and this works fine for me. The only thing is I hate the keyboard, but this would be true of anything like this.

There might just be an app (+cable) for that:

Works with iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Obviously no hardware keyboard, but there are plenty of Bluetooth options for that (at the expense of something else to lug around).

Oh that's very nice Al. Just a shame that when asked whether I wanted a 4Gs or a Galaxy for my next work phone, I chose Galaxy for a change.
