Turn Your iPhone Into a Mini Monitor

Having a personal device that has numerous apps is cool, but how much use is it to someone who does not spend all day texting? The price of the iPhone products do not come cheap, so should you want to buy this latest product from Apple, be ready to shell out some bucks. While the iPhone can obviously be used for a phone, there are some apps that go beyond game playing. What if there was a way to turn the iPhone into a mini monitor at the office instead of taking up space in your pocket or purse?

There are various stands available for iPhones. But, to really make use of this device in the office, find a stand that will be weighed properly at the bottom so that it will not tip. Plus look for a stand that has a swivel type mount and a type of clasp that will secure the iPhone but will not ruin the finish.

In the horizontal position, the iPhone looks like a mini monitor. The problem is that the screen is really too small to really be of use at the office. The key is to find a magnifier with a movable arm that allows the magnifier to extend over the screen of the iPhone. That way, it can be positioned in such a way over the iPhone to allow the device to be seen at a position that is convenient for you.

With a set up from DirecTv for instance or other subscriptions services, YouTube and streaming movies or stock quotes can be displayed and actually used with the iPhone in a hands free setup. This frees up the regular monitor on the computer for other work related activities.
