Hmmm.. So the PTP support of the K7 is next to useless?

Not the same but you could semi do it using a WIFI SD Card

Already use an EyeFi card. What I was wanting was an external *monitor*.

Yes I have, I'm aware of available dedicated accessories but as I have an Android tablet I'd like to use it if I can - hence the specific question.
Thanks, I know google very well - glad he's your friend too..

Think you would need a tablet with a HDMI input to do that, not aware if one if those....

I think I've seen various adapters that give HDMI ports for tablets on e-bay. So that MIGHT give you an option...

The TF101 has one mini-HDMI port interface

I think you will find the HDMI ports on tablets are output only

What I'd like is to use the Android tablet as an external monitor.
I have a TF101.
Any thoughts?
