Mark,
NAW, Sounds like someone else needs to get a real production support job.
Production issues ALL fall into one bucket, I needed to do something 10 minutes ago.
BTW: When I did eval PocketDBA it worked rather nicely with a regular browser, we just
could not get it to work outside the immediate area doe to the lack of communications
capability. Our Network/WAN admin is playing around with a GSM card from AT&T. Looks
VERY promising.

IMHO, I cannot see a use for such a gadget. Production "issues" come under 2
categories:
1. It can wait until tomorrow.
2. I have to do something now.
In the first case, I am happy to remain blissfully un-aware until I get to
work.
In the second case, I prefer a proper screen and keyboard to do the work. In
this case, a pager is more than sufficient as a notification device.
Anything else in between should have already been *proactively* alerted (and
addressed) via a monitoring tool, or more effectively and reliably via a
whole bunch of home-grow scripts. The options I have seen advertised for
such a gadget include adding users or adding datafiles (which is probably
obsolete with 10g anyway). If you have to do these things re-actively via a
PDA, you have to seriously look at getting out of fire-fighting mode in the
first place.
In fact, I have never equated OEM with usefulness or reliability - remains
to be seen what 10g is like. To be fair, all monitoring tools I have worked
with, or evaluated, can only be ranked according to their degree of
un-usability.
