I know you can use the N7 as a second monitor or even a PC itself. I wanted to ask a question slightly more out there.
Is / would it be possible to output system (PC) stats to display on the N7? I have a Logitec G15 v1 keyboard that has the LCD screen on it that runs little apps on it. My N7 can sit right up over the top of it and act as a bigger and better screen. I would like to know if it was doable to run an apk to display those programs, or something like it pulling info from the PC along with maybe some other useful PC info. Kind of like running RainMeter but instead of on the PC have it display everything on the android via Blutooth, USB, or WiFi?
The things you mentioned are definitely doable, hell, the sky is the limit. It's another matter of who will make these apps.
Figured I would update this because I found what I was looking for and if there is anyone else wanting something like it, here you go:
This app has everything I wanted and more. Its perfect. And its FREE!

Just for the sake of archives: you can use the Nexus 7 as a secondary monitor of a Linux by using VNC. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28608/how-do-you-use-an-android-tablet-as-a-second-display

You can do something like that in Windows too and there is plenty of info on that already, but what I was looking for was live system stats. Not an actual secondary monitor. I wanted to be able to keep an eye on CPU/GPU temps and fan speed along with other stats.

Nice,
when it's ready ?
Did anybody care to read the article or is at least capable of understanding the meaning of "concept"? These are just pictures. The designer is currently looking for developers for this concept.
I don't like it - I think it doesn't fit into WP7.
I was at a conference at Microsoft's HQ where they talked about Windows 8 and Metro.
They took an old fashioned RSS reader and slowly 'converted' it to Metro, as they explain every step. From what I understand, In WP7:
You display on the main area only whats needed - otherwise there's the [...] area for settings and configurations (called the App Bar).
Element design is kept to a minimum - jagged edges are too much, also, the borders around the icons are too much.
The circular elements don't fit well into a squared environment.
It's really nice designed. Shame I can't help, need to learn new technologies I am at .net aspx jquery ajax
This will depend on the OEM pretty much and what the Radio version / Firmware allow the camera to do.
for me its to much on the screen, if the first picture should represent it in use??? the screws are to much and to big. i know it should be like on an DSLR but its to much, it has nothing with metro to do.
I see RETRO here
BTW I could buy as appears in the Market
im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:

with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!
This is not a new app but it’s something that we’ve just recently discovered and one that we thought is useful, awesome and amazing enough for us share it with you.
AirDroid is a simple to setup and easy to use application that allows you to manage your Android device wirelessly from the web browser on your computer. The app is a really great way to access stuff on your Android device. You can manage files and documents on your device’s micro SD card, you can drag and drop files to and from the device, and even access your contacts, call logs, emails, and a whole host of other things too. You can also text using the app as well as download and install apps on your device all wirelessly from the web browser of your choice on your computer.
The interface is pleasant and you don’t need to root your device to access most of the cool features of AirDroid. You don’t even have to install anything on your PC either. Just key in passcode or scan a QR code and you’re done.
This is something we really recommend you try out. Download the free app from Google Play here or just scan the QR code below.

Pretty basic question.
I am using PhoneGap/Cordova to build an app for Amazon FireTV OS, which is built on Android. I am using HTML, Javascript, CSS and everything is working fine. However, when I try to use the < video > tag to pull in an .MP4 video, all I am getting is a gray background and film strip logo. What does this mean? The documentation says is supported and I am 100% positive of the path and any other silly pitfalls. Do I need a cordova plugin of some sort? Perhaps the manifest file needs to be tweaked? Thank you for your assistance.

Similar icons in other apps means a plugin is missing or not compatible.

Ok thanks. I will keep on it. If you can think of anything, please let me know.
Hey! I recently bought a motorcycle and found a way to mount my Sony Smartwach 3 to the handlebar. This works amazing in for Google Maps, but I thought it might could become even cooler, if there was a way to create a watchface that would be able to display the current speed you are traveling. Has anyone ever seen a watchface like that or knows if this is even possible?
Thanks!
I think it could be possible using Tasker.
I'm waiting for my watch, it should arrive this week

I bought Tasker a while ago, but never used it. If you figure something out, please let me know!
Backcountry navigator has a watchface which shows speed, distance and elevation. It is meant for off-road travel, but does show speed.
It is a bit pricey, best t has a trial. Here is a link to the trial. I am not positive the trial allows you to use the Wear capability, but I think it does.

Here is a screenshot of the watchface. You can choose from many sources. I have put a request out to the devs to allow customization of the font color, because the white does seem to blend with some https://www.dropbox.com/s/bezln0053vcmqk6/BackcountrNav.jpg?dl=0

I think my answer was quite incomplete. There is an app Watchface Maker which support Tasker variable. You need to use both to achieve that. Or try to join Watchface Maker community in Google+ and make/search the request.
