I haven't seen examples of folks trying to use iPads (for example) as X11 displays, likely because it's outside my area of expertise. Do you know of any examples?
iSSH includes an X11 display server, and I've had reasonable success using it with clients on an assortment of architectures, including a Tru64 VM running Open Genera. I wouldn't expect it to work well with something like video playback unless you've got a very fast and uncongested wireless network (or possibly a Lightning-to-Ethernet adapter, if such things exist), but if you don't need that kind of sustained responsiveness, it's at least worth a try.
I think the original product link isn't using wireless but instead depends on a wired connection. I've heard about using X11 over the internet but I'm worried that the lag would make this approach more annoying than effective.
It would be great to have a wired connection option on other operating systems besides the Mac.
I do a lot of reading / annotating on my iPad. My other use case mostly involves emacs. I'd love to have a Linux matchstick dongle that I could simply plug in to my iPad to run emacs (and associated goodies like R, Python, etc).
