Air Display is a nifty software utility that enables you to use your iPad as a second monitor, alongside your trusty Apple computer. The app requires a desktop companion application, which is only available for Macs running OS X 10.6, and a Windows version should be arriving soon.
Our sister magazine overseas had their own fun with the Air Display application. The video below was shot on an iPhone 3GS and exhibits the Air Display software running on a MacBook Pro and an iPad.
The gang at MacFormat also discovered that the iPad's touchscreen is active, so you can freely drag your Mac windows around the desktop portion displayed on your iPad with your finger, though the accuracy is a bit off on the smaller interface.
