Touch as a PDA or Touch PAD

Recently I received an Ipod Touch (2nd Gen). This thing is a marvel and an excellent Portable Application Device (PAD).

One of the best things about this is simply carry this has a informational device. Even though I have a MS smartphone I find it much easier to use the Touch when viewing contacts and calendar items.

One of the better uses is when I am on a client’s site and tasked at doing a Network survey. I can easily view all wireless APs in the area and note their MAC, SSID and form of security. Also with the iNet application I can connect to the network and scan the nodes present and save/email them for documentation.

Another good use is saving router configs and other notes for references.

A recommended tool for the Network Professional.
