Specialized makes one, I'm on my second one (I ruined the head on the other after about 4 years) and it's rad. Doesn't cost much more than a regular shock pump if I remember right.
I know the pressure ranges are different, but when you have the computing power of six-floors worth of 1950's era computing technology in your hand, I can't imagine nobody would have figured out how to make a rotating barrel'ed pump.
and Sandwich, you'll probably appreciate this- on the old one, I took it to the dealer for a new head, but they didn't have them so they gave me a new version for dirt cheap instead. So later I machined a fitting to adapt the head off of a CO2 pump, and got the old one working perfectly again. Gave it to a buddy and stuff.

Nice. I love things that work right. I want to get the head-tube mini tool that cannondale had for their lefty forks. Those things were so damn convenient and they had everything you needed for a bike. Chain break, tire levers, patches, etc.

No problem!
It's funny to see that I carry just about everything in that article in my pack. I used to be the grommet with about 16oz of water and nothing else, relying on my older buddies with the 20 pound backpack. Now I am the guy with the 20 pound backpack and the gut to go with it.
So yeah, integrating things and lighter/smaller is good!
I've got one of the Specialized ones, and it works, kinda'. Not great in either mode, but does work at least. IMO, works better as a shock pump than a tire pump. Even have taken the trouble to clean/re-grease/re-o-ring/tighten everything up - didn't make much difference.
It only goes in the small pack, when rides are short/not far from home or car. Bigger or rarther afield rides, separate ones come along.
Hmm. Didn't know about the SRAM/RS one. May have to look into that.
