Between all of my desktop widgets and my twenty-odd minimized windwos, Android iDisplay really could come in handy. The new app enables your smartphone's screen to act as an extension to your computer monitor, freeing up space for things that may require a larger view.
Shape Services designed the clever application to work with both PCs and Apples, and it's perfect for moving things over like Twitter for Mac, sticky notes, chats and anything else that may clutter your screen.
If you work with your mobile phone on your desk anyway, the arrangement is much the same. The bonus is that your new workspace will cost you $4.99 extra, rather than the exorbitant price for an extra monitor that you may use less than half of the time. If you just need a small space to set aside those cyber accessories, Android iDisplay could be right on the money.
