Anyone find a tablet, Ipad, Cius, Android based, otherwise that works with console?

This question is out on Google, no good answers so I figure this is probably the best place to go.  I know that there are a ton of SSH apps, telnet apps, etc for the IPad and Android based OS's.  The one thing I'm not seeing is a serial console utility like a teraterm/hyperterminal for a tablet OS.  I've been wanting to see if I can switch remote troubleshooting to a tablet rather than a laptop (see convenience).  One thing that's keeping that from happening for me is the lack of console capability.  Has anyone got a console working on any tablet system, if so how, and what tools are you using?

Well, there is no RS-232 hardware on most of these units, and if there is it is usually not accessible short of Jailbreaking or Rooting the device.  Even when available, the low-voltage electronics present either as a USB or a low-voltage serial port which require additional adaptation.
At one point, someone made a Bluetooth Console cable:

But that project is dead.
If you can get one, it might work on Android with

I see a product that makes a Wifi serial port

Which may be promising.  Again, I have never used it.
Bottom line is that the serial hardware is generally not available on those platforms, but there may be a path to purpose built wireless dongles to do the job.  The so-called "1 port terminal server" is well suited to this job.
I haven't used the iPhone or Android in this way but would love to hear what you learn.  Seems that Bluetooth would be the way to go.

  • Exchange 2010 activesync, Personal archive access from Mobile devices like Iphone,IPAD and Android based Phones

    Hi,
    As of what i have found from different blogs is that all the activesync devices including IPhone , IPAD and  Android based phones cannot access online archive/Personal archive in exchange 2010.
    Is there any third party app in the market for the above devices which can support access of Online archive?
    Thanks in Adavance

    There must be a way! Since you can view the online archive through webmail with supported browsers on PC(IE, Firefox, Safari OSx) (so activeX is no must).
    All it takes is a browser that can set a different 'agent' and that can interact with the webmail(OWA) website just like Safari on OSx.
    I tried different browsers on the iPad, they all display the Online archive, but the navigation is broken. (scrolling by sliding your fingers does not work correct) The result is that you can not open(read) any mail in your online archive.
    The browsers we tested and show the online archive but where the navigation doesn't work are:
    On iPad:
    - Kissmyagent
    - Atomnic(the free AND payd version)
    On android:
    app: 'OWA for Android' (does not show the online Archive)
    Maybe someone can come up with a browser and/or app that can show the online archive!

  • Is there a Drawing Tablet that works with iPad?

    I have been looking all over for this and every search result pops up with "how to use iPad as a Drawing Tablet" which is what I don't want to know. I want to know if there is a drawing tablet that can function with iPad/iOS to provide a more accurate drawing and image editing experience. I know there are styli that work with iPad but I don't want to spend money on giant pens that look very innaccurate. I want to use the iPad as the display and the drawing tablet as the input.

    It's unlikely to happen.  Instead, buy one of these non-giant devices:  http://justgosmart.com/stylus/

  • Small CF card reader that works with the iPad Camera Kit?

    I'm looking for a small (not much bigger than a CF card) CF Card reader that works with the iPad Camera kit (USB piece) - Anyone know of one?
    All the ones I see people suggesting are big and bulky (made for a desktop). I know there are many smaller ones, but that the iPad camera kit doesn't work with everyone. Anyone know one that works with it?

    My set up, quite compact for travel, this is a no brand version but I have seen other ones branded Integra or something similar.

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

    Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

    In YAMAHA01v96i:
    Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
    Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
    Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
    in LOGIC
    Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
    That's more or less it.
    It worked for me...so far

  • HT4356 My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc

    My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc. At the moment from the photos app it prints an A6 photo in top left corner. How do I change that to something different.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    If you put photo paper in the printer it will print correctly on the paper. Also, some photo printers will adjust the size photo printed when you put different size photo paper in the tray.

  • Anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS  x?

    anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS X?

    There is no solution. The Canon UFR2 driver used by the MF series does not work when connected to a Windows share or a wireless print server, including the Airport Extreme or Express. The problem is wholly to do with the way in which Canon has written this driver and therefore the Canon support staff should know this and tell you (although their Mac knowledge in Australia is pitiful and most likely the same in your region).
    If you had a model with Ethernet, then you could connect it to the wireless router and print via IP > LPD. But I know that your MF4150 only has USB as I mate of mine had one and he had exactly the same issue on Tiger, which I documented on the Tiger forum and the Airport printing forum.
    So, don't waste your money on a print server. Get rid of the Canon and get something that will work for all your OS's. If I can suggest, the safest purchase would be to get a model that supports Postscript. While this does cost more, it will help to avoid any limitations that can occur when using a vendors proprietary printer language, like Canon's UFR2.

  • I can't find a download for safari that works with my 10.7.5 OS

    Trying to find a download that works with 10.7.5.  Any suggestions?

    You need to install Lion:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
