How to use your ANDROID/IOS device as a graphics tablet - Mafia - 04-29-2013
Hey guys Poi here with a tutorial I made. After searching around this is the ONLY way to use this for Windows/Mac!
Here we go:
1. Go to:
http://getidisplay.com/ And get the Free windows/mac app.
2. Install the app to your computer and make sure it is running. To make sure it should be in the system tray.
3. Now download the app (It costs but if google is your friend you can get it for free
)IOS (For iPad / iPad mini / iPhone / iPod touch): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id363500805?mt=8
IOS ( For iPhone / iPod touch): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id571270668?mt=8
Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen&referrer=eQFPU4P3XkBGRmL6ZoAoJK
4. Once installed the app on your device open the app and wait until your computer shows up or connect via USB. Wait until it has loaded you should see your desktop. Now if you put your mouse all the way to the left of your screen it should come up on your tablet.
5. Put Photoshop or google on one side whilst the other app is on the tablet!
6. Enjoy

I'm going to do this with my Nexus7 for the fun of it. I think it would bring better interest to my Nexus if I did so.
Thank-you, Alex for this wonderful tutorial.

I really like the idea of using this method if you have an extra iDevice or Android laying around :p
I do think that a real graphic tablet would be more suitable if you plan on becoming more advanced.

I know, this is just for the people who are less able. I thought I would try it out as it would be easier to transport around as I have my iPad everywhere I go!
