Use an iPad as a touchable external monitor... http://avatron.com/apps/air-display


Holy shit, thank you for this!

edit: 5 minutes (and -$10) later, I now have a portable third monitor that I can bring with me anywhere in the house. Plus I can easily test my iPhone app in the simulator using real touch gestures, without building to a device (not every gesture is working, but this is still awesome).


This is basically a disguised VNC display. I test drove this app(or its clone) last year and it was noticeably laggy. Maybe things have changed since then...


But unlike VNC it extends the desktop.
