MaxiVista

I have stumbled upon MaxiVista before while researching on relevant networking technologies. AFAIK, they are the only company that offers screen spanning across different computers (using another monitor in another computer as an extension of your monitor).

Sure one may ask "why not just get another monitor?" well there are several scenarios this could be useful. One is if I don't want to dedicate a monitor but would like to be able to extend my desktop when I need it. Two is mobility purposes; I don't want to carry a 10" laptop and a 32" screen. Three is to be able to use systems already at the location.

Now it turns out they've gone a step further and have developed an iPad app! Yes, you can now use your iPad as an extended monitor. Albeit its not perfect yet, but the possibilities are interesting.
