I do the NYT crossword on my iPhone. Not uncommonly, someone will start kibitzing over my shoulder. If there's a TV nearby, I throw the app up there, either with AirPlay or an HDMI cable. Because it's an iPhone, the app can detect that it's mirrored to a big screen and give an alternate layout for that screen; the NYT crossword app does an average job of this, giving a layout optimized for large 16:9 landscape displays. Makes two people (or ten) working on a crossword together much more pleasant. I'm not sure if this is a weird use case or not, but given the number of iPhone apps that I have both used and written that have special handling for TV mirroring to improve user experience... it can't be /that/ rare. |
