Adsense earnings via WAP?

I've been searching for some sort of script that allows you to view your adsense earnings via your phone via WAP, but I have had no luck.

Has anyone seen or used a script like this before?

Haven't seen such a script, but I see the two issues/questions:

1) Security - you need to build up a secure connection between the handset and the script on your server, and from your server to the AS server. If you don't build up a secure connection, the mobile network operator may be able to see your password.

2) Rationale - so you have your earnings on your mobile phone. Now what? If you do not sit in front of your computer, I assume that you can not make any changes to your web site to fix the problems you see. If you are sitting in an Internet cafe, you actually could access the stats directly from the PC. So a WAP stat is just a nice widget instead of a really useful tool. Maybe that's the reason why so few people talk about accessing the stats over WAP.

Just my $0.02

It's useful for reassurance that everything is in order and you don't have to rush off home though, isn't it?

Yes, you're right.

But then again, with the recent AS rollercoaster there is still little you can do. Also, the AS stats are not real time and thus do not provide sufficient information on the actual status of your site.

In fact, it might be more useful to make your click tracker accessible through WAP, or maybe send an alert SMS if a certain number of clicks has not been reached by a certain time of the day.
