How About iPhone as current HMI?

There is an AP called SCADA Mobile by the company Sweetwillams Automation for iPhone / iPad that works pretty well. Especially for iPhone where the screen size is so limited. Check it out at:

its also works in the opc.net for mobile

I think mobile platforms are becoming a part of control systems whether we like it or not. From a security perspective, it makes me a bit nervous. From a usability perspective, it's great. Just make sure and understand your capabilities and vulnerabilities when you set up the system and have some kind of maintenance plan. This isn't unlike dealing with any other new technologies.
