July 27, 2011 — San Jose, CA — Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced Splashtop XDisplay, an app that turns an iPad into a wireless second display for Windows 7 PCs to enhance productivity. Using the iPad as a screen extender can serve many purposes.

View spreadsheets across monitors so that all columns can be seen without scrolling
Park background entertainment windows such as Netflix, Hulu, or social games (FarmVille) on the iPad while working
Edit an HTML page on one monitor while viewing the rendered web page on the iPad
Collaborate with others by showing them additional content on the extended iPad screen
Play Flash movies and videos on your iPad in bed or on the couch and avoid the hassle of transferring or converting
