DisplayPad, Education, James, VGA Output | in Accessories, Review, Video DisplayPad. Use your iPad as an extended Mac desktop

In essence DisplayPad is a Mac and iPad app combo that provides an extended desktop or even video mirroring for your host Mac. What makes DisplayPad special is the ease of set up and fluidity of the display rendering. For just £0.59 or $0.99 (for today only) you really can't go wrong, even if you only use it once or twice - surely it's worth the tiny asking price. Here are the main features:
• Tap your iPad to click.• Two finger tap to right click.• Two finger drag to scroll, just like on a laptop trackpad.• Rotate the screen and DisplayPad automatically changes the mode of the display.• Position the display anywhere relative to your desktop, just like an external display.
We love the speed and simplicity of DisplayPad, but we can think of a way that developer Clean Cut Code could turn it into an essential app for many iPad owners. VGA Output.
Having the ability to mirror (or extend) your Mac display to an iPad connected to a projector would be a perfect solution for many trainers and educators. This would free up the Mac to be positioned wherever the user feels most comfortable without the need for long cables. Over to you Clean Cut Code.
