As the title implies this in an alternative option for users that want a tablet, but can't afford it, or have no method of buying one. I myself don't use this setup, but a friend of mine recently told me about this app. The app that allows her to use a smart phone (iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc) as a wireless mouse that corresponds to her computer. Which in turn should hopefully work as a tablet, I don't know if any lag is expected, or anything about this app, so you're going to have to try it for yourself. There are probably a lot of better apps then the ones mentioned, but these are the ones she mentioned to me. Anyways hopefully this helps out a few users who want a tablet-like experience. Mahalo
