Simple Phone Teathering

Hi,
Apologies for the simple question, but it seems that these really cheap tablets could actually be rather useful though for some reason it isn't doesn't seem to be getting coverage.

The idea is simply put into practice the basic ideas of fairly dumb terminals and phone powered computing using whats available out of the box.

Specifically, a fairly decent phone like the Samsung S4 mini with a very cheap tablet like the allwinner A13 or A20.

Hook them up together, with direct wifi or a screen sharing app and away you go. Surely that would mean you can effectively browse the web, do emails etc with a viewable screen. Basically buying a screen for your phone rather than simply a tablet.

Really surprised not to see lots of how to's about this. Perhaps I've just missed them. Any words of wisdom from the inner circle!?
 
So you want to mirror your phone's display to a cheap tablet AND use the tablets touch input to control the phone so youre basically using the phone's internet and cpu and the tab's big screen?
Interesting :thumbup:
