Has anyone used the airplay mirroring on the iphone 4S to make it more like a desktop? I was wondering if I would be able to hook an Apple TV to my PC monitor, set my iphone down next to it, enable the mirroring, hook up a keyboard and mouse (if possible), and use the iphone on the PC monitor as if it was like a desktop? Has anyone tried this? Does it work well?
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone know if they iPad DVI adapter works on the iPhone now?
If so that would be easier and cheaper than an Apple TV.
I don't know, though, so I've just added another question for you to research.

I guess using a DVI adapter instead of airplay would be fine. I just want to know if its possible and if it works well to hook the iphone upto a monitor and use a keyboard and/or mouse.
I don't believe you can use a mouse with the iPhone. Other than that, I suppose you could do as you suggest. With ATV you'd need an HDMI->DVI adapter if your monitor doesn't have an HDMI connector.
I believe what the previous post was about using a cable to go from the iphone 4s directly to a monitor instead of using an apple tv. Which if there is a cable that can do that and is there an adapter so you can plug a charger into the iphone 4s along with the cable that goes to the monitor?
