Handy iPhone dev gadget
Just got my MIMO 730 screen today.
It's a 7" LCD that uses DisplayLink over USB (and USB power) to run as a separate screen on any Mac.
What's really cool is that it's got a fast enough update speed to handle the iPhone Simulator. *And* it rotates to portrait mode too (there's also a more expensive touchscreen version).

That's running as a 3rd monitor on a MacBook 2.4Ghz.
Colour and such are better than my poor photography shows. It also has a built in webcam and microphone although that requires you to use a 2nd USB port.

I was looking at those earlier; they look very tempting. Is there any noticeable lag?
Not really, it's clocked as a 62Hz display and appears to be happy running SlotZ Racer (which runs at 30fps) without looking odd.
It appears to be a little slower than the simulator normally runs video, but if anything better as it's nearer the slower speed of the iPhone's update.

All too often, art is simply the loss of practicality.
