Get your auxiliary display on with MIMO's mini-LCDs (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13340/Get-your-auxiliary-display-on-with-MIMOs-miniLCDs/)

Ever need just a little more real estate on your computer screen? I certainly could. I spend an inordinate amount of time using programs like Photoshop and Flash, and could always use an extra place to put all those little palettes and menus.
These new MIMO displays from Korea’s Nanovision let you add a tiny 7″ LCD to your PC as a secondary monitor. Each mini-widescreen monitor features a sharp 800×480 display resolution, and can be rotated into landscape or portrait modes.
For a hundie stick you could add one of these little dudes and have all kinds of fun. It's like those gaming keyboard displays, but infinitely more useful. A full sized monitor will set you back several hundreds, and unless you're a power-user, it probably won't offer you any more benefit than what you get from this kind of monitor. Keeping a media player or reference manual visible on a mini-LCD would unclutter my workflow in all the right ways.
The slightly pricier of the two has a touchscreen, and if it was wireless, I think you might be looking at the perfect aux display. I wonder if wireless-USB could make that happen...I'd spend a whole lot more time <a target="_blank" href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/nokia-survey-finds-that-many-americans-work-on-the-can-the-defi/">on the toilet</a>.
