What our listeners can't see is Doug actually has sitting in front of him the world's largest
laptop which not only has like a 19 inch screen on it it, and also has a pullout
secondary screen. So in reality he doesn't need this.
But when I travel with my
small laptop it is nice to be able to set up my iPad as a secondary monitor.
I've gotten used to be
able to drag portions of my work on to a second monitor so I can look at it
while I'm working with the main content. I don't have the second monitor with me
when I'm traveling and my iPad would be perfect for that. And there is an app
that makes it possible.
It works pretty well too. It's called Airdisplay and it's not free but it's definitely worth the cost. There's a piece that runs on the iPad and there's a piece the runs on your laptop
computer.
It runs both on Windows and
on Mac computers. If you really want to use it as an iPhone display you can
have your iPhone as a secondary display well though that is so small I can hardly
imagine that it's worth it.
In any case check out Airdisplay on the App Store
to see how you can use your iPad as a secondary display.
