You could run mythfrontend in a 320x240 (or whatever) vncserver on your 
backend and connect to it with your PDA. There are VNC viewers available 
for every PDA out there.

Or you get yourself a linux based PDA (like a zaurus) and run a full 
frontend on it. Wireless tv wachting on your PDA, now that is geeky :-)
