I've been playing with gadgets, media players and Mini PC's for more than 10 years now, and it's always exciting to see a new brand making a name for themselves - it's this wave of energy that's really inspiring.
Pepper Jobs caught a lot of attention when they launched their Mini PC, and it looks like their newest premium product will get even more - Pepper Jobs XtendTouch is a premium portable display, a 39.6 cm (15.6 inches) self-powered IPS monitor that could be used anywhere and anytime.
XtendTouch can be placed both horizontally and vertically, and could be connected to a laptop or phone.
The main attraction is it's ability to boost productivity, dramatically improving the screen size for existing devices : ask anyone using a multiple-monitor setup (myself included) and they will tell you that adding second monitor it's a major improvement - you can work with multiple documents and applications.

As I mentioned, I use two monitors at work and I can certainly see the benefits of using this device both home and while on the go.
And so did others - not so long ago Vinpok Split raised over 3 million dollars on Indiegogo for a similar device, and TAIHE Gemini another 1.3 million USD.
