Can it talk to my laptop via bluetooth? That would be rad. I'd use it outdoors, with my laptop running but still folded in my bag.


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 :)
