Apple is a great company that is dedicated to devising and building devices of all kinds, from computers, to smartphones, tablets, music players, etc ... devices with different functions but which can also work together.
Today we bring you an application that will allow you to use your iPad's in another way, use them together with your Mac's. And there are many occasions when we see that we need more space on our screens, we may not have the possibility of having an extra monitor (or Cinema Display) but we may also have our iPad with us. Duet Display will allow you to use your iPad as a second screen on your Mac's.
Yes it is true that other similar applications already existed, iDisplay It was probably the best known but it is also true that its operation left much to be desired, had a significant lag (delay in the display) that instead of making it easier for us to work with our Mac, it complicated our lives too much. A Mac-iPad connection that in old applications was produced through the Wifi network but that in Duet Display is achieved through the USB cable.
It is precisely the USB cable connection which makes us have a much lower lag than the one we would have with a Wi-Fi connection between the Mac screen and our iPad. Not only will we have an extra screen, but we will also be able to interact with our Mac through the iPad touch screen. Duet Display works with all released iPad's and iPhone's to date as long as they use an iOS equal to or greater than iOS 5.1.1.
You can get Duet Display for 8,99 euros in the App Store, a price that according to the developers is promotional at 50%, so if you want to try the application it is a good time to get it.
I have been a Mac user since 1987, I have seven computers, including an Apple20TH Anniversary, love iPhone and iPad and I have never encountered a "chestnut" like this one from DUET. I suggest you document yourself before recommending it with the effusion that you have done. One more of the "fallen" ...
Jose Maria, could you justify more your judgment about DUET ???
It is not a review, we do not even give the application a note, we only publish a news item in which we talk about this new application, nor do we recommend that it be installed, nor do we say that it complies with what it promises. If you have experience with this application and it has been bad, could you explain a little more in depth what its negative aspects are and so other readers and we ourselves could have a better idea of what it really offers.
