There are a few Android APPs available for this purpose, such as air display, idisplay, Spashtop.

It looks like the kernel used by the Boox has OTG disabled (also see my other post here: ) Unfortunately though I've not been able to set up a key point of the setup: The USB keyboard. terminal multiplexer/session manager: tmux Some applications I'd run on the server which cover almost everything I need: Connect to the server via ssh from the Boox (e.g. Set up a GNU/Linux server which runs all the applications (e.g. They are also controlled via keyboard only - no mouse cursor which could create ugly trails on the screen.Īnother advantage of a text-mode-only setup is that the bandwidth requirement is much lower than with VNC (much lower battery drain!). The reason is that these applications are very static, the screen doesn't change as much as with GUI based applications. However, I believe if you are willing to use text-mode based applications which run in a console/terminal the experience would be much better. In addition, you can use USB to connect your Android device to the PC (or, presumably, your Mac.) I have a Mac Mini, so I think I may try that as well.From my experience with the web browser on the Boox I don't think you'd want to use the Boox as a monitor for longer sessions except for reading text documents. It also works better with the system mouse. Since the Kindle Fire is somewhat bigger than the iPhone, it is much easier to use Windows on the this device. While I am still evaluating it, it looks just as good as the iOS version. I downloaded the Android version to my Kindle Fire. Not only is it a secondary display, but it also acts as a remote desktop as well. Overall, I think this is a very well and highly useful application. Using the extended mode on the phone app allows this.

Now, you can zoom, which helps, but using full screen is pretty tough. I had a difficult time closing windows or tapping on the address box to enter a URL. The ‘chrome’, so to speak, is just too small. One, it does put a load on your Wi-Fi network, so keep that in mind two, using the Windows Desktop on an iPhone screen is a laborious task. Now, even though this app works very, very well, there are a couple of drawbacks.

And, really, for a tablet, you won’t need a second screen, but I had to try anyway. It is slow and the only mode supported is mirror of the desktop, not very useful.

I think it is a problem with the video driver and the Atom processor.

I tried running the server app from my VivoTab Smart tablet running Windows 8.1 preview. And for an application that has multiple windows or instances, you can select which one to view. One really nice feature is that the phone app can show you a list of currently running apps on the main display and allow you to move them to the secondary display, pretty nifty and useful. Also, the phone app works great with Windows 8 Start Page. Of course, that will depend on your Wi-Fi network and how busy it is. From my desktop, I could even watch a video that was streaming from the desktop with relatively high frame rate. I have to admit, I rather like seeing Windows on my iPhone.Īmong the features in the phone app are: gestures, integrated on screen keyboard, audio playback, touch, full interaction with your desktop. Apps that were running already, will remain on the primary display, apps that you start from the phone will display on the phone. The cool thing is that in the Windows 8 desktop, I get the full experience, task bar and right click action all work. On my desktop, I let it use the default, which is to extend my display to the second device. On my Windows 8 desktop that does not have touch, using this app on my iPhone adds touch. In Windows, it acts as a driver, allowing full video and audio as well as adding touch to a non-touch computer. Once running, the desktop server uses Bonjour and Wi-Fi to talk to the phone. Please Note: it is also available on Android via the Google Play Store, but I am focusing on the iOS version here.

Then, go to the iDisplay web site and download the appropriate desktop app and install that. Installing on the phone is as easy as going to the App Store, searching for iDisplay, purchasing (it is. There are two parts to the setup: the iDisplay app for the phone and the desktop app that streams to the phone. The one I am writing about today is for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch.Ĭalled iDisplay, this little gem does a terrific job at adding a second display to your Windows or Mac PC (because, you know, the Mac IS a PC.) There are several apps out that will do this, for the iPhone/iPad and for Android. One of my suggestions was to use it as a secondary display. A reader asked that I expand on this post, so I am. In an earlier blog post, I wrote about ways to use your old smartphone once you got a new one.
