May 2010 was a great month for iPad-specific apps. Here’s some of the best.
I’ve been using Air Display ($9.99), which lets you use your iPad as an extra display for your computer. I’ve got it working with my 27” iMac, though it’s truly not necessary. Where I need it is with my 13” MacBook, but the app requires Mac OS 10.6 (my MacBook is currently at 10.5.8). An update is promised, and I can hardly wait. Air Display works beautifully. Simply drag whatever you’d like to appear on the iPad screen over that way. It works exactly like an additional display.
