I posted this as a comment on the Air Display review, but i thought i would post it in the forums to possibly get more responses...
Is there a way to use the iPad as the ONLY monitor for your desktop, not just a second monitor? The reason I ask is this -- I currently own one of the first MacBooks and I'm thinking of upgrading this year. Since I already paid for an iPad this year as well, I'm thinking about getting a Mac Mini to save on money vs getting another MacBook. When I'm at home, I can use the Mini hooked up to my regular monitor, when I'm traveling I can use my iPad ... But if I needed a little extra power traveling, I could bring along the Mini and (hopefully) use the iPad as the monitor. I understand that I would have to plug the Mini in somewhere. Any ideas? Can this work without a wireless connection around?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
