Reflections, a program that lets you use Airplay to mirror your iPad to a Mac OS X computer, now has a Windows version.

That is so cool!

Now, I just have to figure out why I need it (I want it - just have to justify it... ).

I got it so that I could record demos (by combining it with a screen recording app on the Mac). Haven't actually used it for that, yet.

That is an easy one:
Say you have a grandma or your mother or other folks who happen to have an iPad and a PC. You simply install the reflection program at the PC and show the person how to airplay mirror. Then you need to install teamviewer and show how to start it.
The next time your person has a problem with the iPad you ask her to start teamviewer and the reflection programm and let her do airplay mirroring. Then you log into the pc from your iPad or your PC and you should see the ipad screen and be able to help. Of course you cannot operate the iPad but I think it helps a lot when you see the same as the person who needs help.

So we somehow have the ability to teamview into the iPad.

I just tested it. Works great.

Is this enough material to justify? For me it is.
