Abstract
A method, system, and medium are provided for using a mobile device (e.g., a smart phone, personal digital assistant ('PDA'), reading device, cell phone) as a external monitor for a computing device (e.g., a laptop, a desktop personal computer). A mobile device may also be used as an input device for the computing device. For example, a trackball, touch screen, keypad, or other input device on the mobile device may be used to control applications operating on the computing device. The mobile device may send and receive communications at the same time a computing device is utilizing the mobile device's input and output components. The mobile device's battery may be charged while the computing device controls the mobile device's input and output mechanisms.
