Avatron Air Display Turns Your iPad into a Second Display for Your Mac

All you have to do is install a System Preference panel on your Mac desktop or laptop, and you’ll be able to transfer data from the iPad to your computer, over WIFI. The tablet will also have mouse functionality, allowing to click items on the extended monitor, with your finger tips.

Air Display will be available on the Apple app store, starting next week, for a price of $10. Although the WIFI connection might not be as smooth as a wired one, this app is cheaper than any secondary monitor on the market.
