In what way? It’s got Bluetooth and can do anything an android device can :)

If there’s something specific you have in mind I can give it a try?



Yes please! I just want to know if such a screen can serve as the UI (including touch input from the user) for a laptop that's folded and put away somewhere nearby.


Ah! I'll have a look and see what Android apps will do that, if any, and give it a try! Send me an email (in my profile) and I'll let you know how I go in the next day or two?

It's 100% possible though:

And these are both older devices with older software. That Deep Guide one is the best demonstration!

A comment on that video is relevant:

> just tried and it works perfectly on my note2. The good thing I just realised is that you can use the touch screen to control as a mouse on note2, which makes the experience even better!

Supports touch/keyboard input too; and on the Note 2 :)
