Use Your Android Tablet as a Second Computer Display

IDisplay turns you Android tablet into a monitor for you Mac or PC
IDisplay, the not-so-well loved iOS app to turn a tablet or phone into a secondary display, has come to Android. Now, with this app and an Android tablet or phone (v2.1 or better), you can extend your display.
It works like this. By the app from the Android Market, and grab the companion app for your Mac or PC. Install both, and fire them up. Your computer should show up on the tablet. Just tap it and you’re done. The tablet’s screen will turn into a tiny external display for your desktop or laptop.
You can either mirror the entire display, or choose to extend it and place small, oft-used windows like Twitter or your notifiers off to one side.
The reviews of the iOS version on the App Store are mixed — some love it, some can’t even get it to work, or so they say. I use Air Display or DisplayPad on my iPad, and they’re great for blogging with a laptop at something like CES, especially if you are used to working with a bigger screen. IDisplay costs $5, and is available now.
