No, what i mean is "he is touching a real device" that is transferred over USB to the screen. How? Or is this Microsoft closed.

its a devkit device almost all companys that make handhelds do it

Oh, i see, did not know those even existed
But on the keynote the USB popped out by accident and the screen went idle, but when he re-plugged it, it continued. So Microsoft does the screen capture by USB but that may be internal use only probably.

Its the internal thing that MSFT has. It's not supposed to exist if I recall correctly. The software is made for internal dev devices. Not all MSFT employees have access to that.

Can this be done with HTC phones?
I like the concept. It's about time, we can get a picture of our own phone/mp3 player on the screen, color included. Itunes has only done that for about 4 versions now.
Here is the link to the developer kit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/DeviceExperience/Dev-Kit.mspx
Which I assume will never get utilized by phone manufacturers, since Microsoft is leaving it up to them. Maybe for the newest ones.
Nice article about it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2354491,00.asp
If there is a place likely to develop these custom .xml profiles before waiting for the phone companies to do it, XDA seems like the place.
Any takers on cooking these profiles up? 1 Vote for the Tilt.

I've gone through a few phones recently and many of them already do this in WMDC but I suspect you need a manufacturer that can be bothered. In fact, I remember my tosh g900 doing this a couple of years ago.

I wonder if the hook can be cut...
get ready for a thread revival ladies and gentlemen...
has anyone gotten this to work??? i tried using my little ps3 keyboard with my nexus, device isn't seen by the phone... i read the manual for the device... to pair it with the ps3 you have to plug it in through usb... i don't see a way to get it to broadcast itself wirelessly... typing in the terminal emulation window on android sucks...
::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::::
figured it out... you need to hold down the blue button on the top left shoulder while you turn the keyboard on... you also need to have an app the will detect the keyboard as an input device... i found one called BlueInput... works like a champ!!!

Nexus Prime Picture = phone & tablet

I'm sure others have done this but I brightened up the picture in PS and it's obviously a phone next to a tablet. Could be that they are paired together or could be the launch of the first ICS tablet. Thoughts?

ASUS padfone
you are reading too much into it
the only real phone tablet is the ASUS padfone, which was previously mentioned already on the original topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289656

read the article & almost fainted. If this get's true (although soooo unlikely somehow) it would be awesome.
It just get's me thinking ... Optimus Prime -- Nexus Prime?

according to the article, it's saying Google / Samsung is copying the idea from Asus
http://event.asus.com/mobile/padfone/
By saying I'm reading too much into it are you saying that I think the phone and tablet are paired together? Because that's not what I think at all...
I suppose that they will just announce both smartphone and tablet with ICS
Personally I think the whole, empty tablet that makes your phone screen bigger is ridiculous. If you wanna pair the two, have the tablet half pump some power into the situation.

[Q] Using my tablet as a monitor for a new computer build (?)

Okay this may sound silly but here it goes!!
I'm about to build a new computer, but I only have one desktop monitor . . . and it's attached to the crappy computer soon to be landfilled heh.
If I have to I can of course disconnect my huge NEC widescreen monitor and haul it over to my bench, but what would be too cool would be to rig my little tablet in some way that it displays the activity of the new computer as it takes its first boot.
Because if it doesn't boot, then I'm going to need online help from the home-built forums to troubleshoot what I've connected incorrectly. I would like to have both computers at my disposal as I am building, in other words. I have never done this before, but I have (2nd Gen. DSL) WIFI here at home and I can too easily picture me hauling my monitor back and forth NOT! lol
I saw the free Chrome app (Chrome Remote) but . . . I'm not sure that would work on a new build such as mine because I won't even have partitioned my drives let alone installed Chrome.
Any suggestions? Can this even work? Which Play Apps would I use?
Thanks guys!

Android desktop mode : a much under-estimated feature

I feel like android desktop modes are really much under-estimated. From android 10 release, all media only talk about foldable phone support, 5G support, dark mode (ok this one is actually pretty cool) but nothing about desktop mode.
But this feature is just so powerfull. Why do you use a computer anymore? Using only one device is so much more convenient and less expensive...
Ok currently there is still one issue that is the software end. If you need a windows-only software you'r stuck... But are you really? If you use a cloud computer like shadow.tech you can get a remote windows desktop with all the windows soft you could ever want!
I made Keydock, a docking station in the form of a keyboard, that gives a really great docking desktop experience.

I would love to hear what you think of it! You can see more pictures on Mod edit: Link removed
I guess it looks sick, not sure why I would use it though.
