Overview
Turn your iPad into an extended display for increased productivity!
Extend your desktop and, in seconds, turn your iPad into a wireless second monitor that works side-by-side with your computer. Get extra screen real estate with no messy wires or cables, and boost your productivity by accessing multiple programs and files at once.
Features :
• Full audio and video support (sound can be independently turned on/off from either the computer or iPad)
• Support for Windows 7 default Aero* desktop theme featuring translucent windows
• Interact with your desktop using intuitive touch gestures with pinch-to-zoom capability
• Virtual on-screen keyboard as optional text input method
• Auto orientation when iPad is turned (works in both landscape and portrait modes)
• Password protection for privacy
• Ability to choose the position of your extended display relative to the computer
*Windows Aero is the graphical user interface and the default theme in most editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. It is intended to be cleaner, more powerful, more efficient, and more aesthetically pleasing through the use of translucent windows, live thumbnails, live icons and animations.

I’ve designed a wallpaper for times when my iPad is sitting on top of my screen. I love having the iPad up on top because it means I can extend the display without turning my head to the side! It’s a true extension!

Their answers are shown in the Yahoo messenger boxes on the iPad. No revision allowed. Everyone gets one point for correct answers. Then we move on to the next question.
