I think we've figured that much out, problem is the cost of going that route vs a building a dedicated display device is very disproportionate. There are plenty of handheld devices that DO allow serial port access too.

I wonder what the iphone does with it's bluetooth/serial port though. maybe there is some built in synch-up routine that you can use to get data to a file on an iphone or something?
