Thanks for the clarification, yes seems as plenty of power. To put the separate question of Ipaq PDAs at rest for the moment, I contacted the author on the following address, lets wait a bit what eventually turns out on that front. Ipaq PDA EV dashboard link contact page:

You discussed it earlier that eventually, the move from provisional DAQ to manually in hyperterminal, or any serial communication (rs232-2-ethernet) and datalogging made upstream (device not specific) will be the way to go:

Just a mental note here for the particular segment of web frontends (no Java MIDP or SCADA yet): seems the best approach would be always start the public/private domain site for a particular ev/phev project with a blank web page, text menu/hyperlinks only>

// only few core values circling on the ticker are presented (Time, SOC, 2x High/Low #Cell states, Temps, Alarms, ..) - this could be placed on everything for instance on screensavers for various standalone devices, e.g. my IP telephone has got such screensaver showing RSS ticker, it could be anything from PC webrowser addon to kitchen appliance and toys, PalmOrb (new role for old hw), lcd/led ticker signs, cheapo keychain picframe/photoframe (openwrt), wireless pictureframe-yawcam, other crazy ideas..

// basic datadump similar to RSS ticker, no active graphics
[Web - Mobile Device Advanced]
// active yet tiny graphics (graphs), still not much demanding app, ala jQuery plugin sparklines
[Web - Home PC, Carputer, Highend Communicator]
// full features (menu-data transformations on the fly), loaded graphics
we can start it with something simple like LiveGraph

So, you can choose what kind of device/tool you are momentarily about to look at, becuse that changes around the day, and you are not stucked if something goes wrong..
