#2This looks cool - I'd definitely use it for emails. Has it not been done already though?
I have a question about the image - whats the stand used for the iPad?

#3It is called AirDisplay and available since years: https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/
I think there was/is also another App available doing it.

#5I wonder how they achieve "Zero lag". I've been using similar software ( AirDisplay [1] ) and the lagging is awful.
You have to be certified hardware manufacturer if you want to use the USB connection to transmit any data between the iPad and your Mac [2]. So my bet is they either use WiFi ( which can roughly get 60fps on retina resolution ) or Bluetooth 4. In both cases I think the refresh rate would not satisfy in a lot of cases, e.g. playing a YouTube video through their software on the iPad.

EDIT:
I've found more information on their facebook page [3]
> To setup, download and open duet on your Mac (for free) and on iOS.
> Connect your device using a lightning or 30 pin cable. Done.
> No need to worry about firewall settings, Wi-Fi speed or your 802.11n network.
> Duet is secure, simple, and allows you to use your iOS and OS X devices in harmony.
So I guess I was wrong with my bets. Maybe they got a hardware manufacturer license from Apple. Anyway launch is on 16th, so let's see.

12 south are pretty nice, but my wife had a bad experience with their SurfacePad iPhone case (really awesome case, but the leather wears heavily after 1-2 months)
