I need a keyboard hooked to a cell phone

I need to get some simple information about pending orders from a restaurant. But they do not want a PC installed. Is there a way a remote PC can get keyboard input via a cell phone connection?

Is there such a thing as a keyboard, with small display, that can be connected to a mobile account? I don't want any processing, just transmission of the data. I would want the display to show what's being typed for feedback. But it would be great to remotely be able to insert characters to display.

Other devices, like Bump Bars, would be great, if there were a way to manage this wirelessly.

Please let me know.

But isn't Remote Desktop for connecting PC's? I just want a keyboard w/ tiny display in the store.

That's awesome!

It says I could use it with a cell phone. Does that mean I could type data and send it over the cell phone network to a remote PC?

What protocol might that be? How could I capture the keystrokes on the other end?

I think the technologies great. Might I even be able to display data?

Neat.
