Wanted: Serial console for iPad
The one thing I might still need my laptop for, on even a short business trip, would be to use it as a serial console for a headless system. I do that with some frequency, still, and a surprising number of sites just don't have a handy serial terminal.
I'd pay good money for the ability to use my iPad as a serial console, via a null modem and a terminal app as good as iSSH.
