This reminded me of another gizmo I'd like to have... How about a Bluetooth to Serial adapter? Routers don't (yet) have iLO, but I have this fantasy about being able to walk into a colo with a handfull of small adapters that I simply plug on to consoles and then sit down with my laptop and can access all the serial ports without having to run cables.
