<DIV><SPAN class=084511708-26102010><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just finished 
something I thought some of you might be interested in; a usable 
serial port for an iPhone/iPad/iTouch.  All iDevices have a serial 
port built into the dock connector, but it doesn't do anything useful out of the 
box.  All you need is a dock connector, a 470kOhm resistor, some wire, a 
soldering iron, a console cable and an RS232 -> TTL 
converter.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

time spent figuring out the correct wiring scheme, the whole process took 
about an hour.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
