![]() ![]() The fact that Sharp has the nerve to say they included a 1.3 megapixel camera in this phone means that they either exaggerated the camera’s picture quality or they just made a horrible camera. The camera is technically better than the Sidekick II’s, but the picture quality is still absolutely horrible and isn’t even very good for viewing on phone screens. Although version 2.0 would have been better, most people will just be glad they can use a wireless headset with their Sidekick now.Īnyone who was hoping the 1.3 megapixel camera on the Sidekick 3 would be a vast improvement over its predecessor is in for disappointment. Also, Bluetooth 1.2 is included for use with headsets. You don’t have to remove the battery to access the SD card though, which is a great design feature. Removing the battery reveals an easy to reach SIM-card slot and mini-SD card slot. Those fed up with not being able to carry an extra battery will be ecstatic over the new removable battery. Using the included headphones and USB cable, loading music onto your Sidekick 3 is as easy as dragging and dropping music files on the phone. It’s still easy to use and now features a music player application for playing MP3 files. The Danger-based OS the Sidekick 3 uses is not that different than the Sidekick II’s. Buttons are smaller and are easier to use, plus the trackball makes navigation quicker and easier. From the sleek black design and thinner width to the smaller buttons and trackball, users will feel like they’re on a more professional device, as opposed to a toy. In the case of the 2018 iPad Pro and a MacBook, for instance, this requires a USB-C to USB-C cable.This new version of the Sidekick has obviously gotten a facelift. You can also keep it connected to your Mac with a cable for charging, although you’ll need the proper cable. Note: Apple will even let you use your iPad as a tertiary display if you’ve already got a second monitor hooked up. Once you’re done, simply close System Preferences and get to work. When you move the icon representing the display, the actual display should light up with a red outline that lets you know you’ve selected the right one. In this example, I’ve positioned the iPad to the left of my MacBook (which is below my Cinema Display). (By default, the Mac’s interface should have a white bar across the top.) Leif Johnson/DG If you want to be able to access your iPad’s display by moving your cursor off the left of the Mac’s screen, for instance, arrange the blue screen representing your iPad so it’s to the left of the Mac’s icon in the interface. In the menu that pops up, select the heading that says Arrangement.įrom here you can arrange your displays as needed. Press Disconnect and the iPad will go back to being a normal iPad. To stop using your iPad as a secondary display, press the blue rectangle again. A menu will pop up, and and pressing Move to will immediately send it over to the iPad and activate Sidecar. You can also send an app to Sidecar at any time (even if it’s not turned on yet) by holding your mouse over the green expansion button that you find on the top bar of a Mac app. You’ll see an empty desktop pop up on your iPad, and the AirPlay icon on your Mac’s main menu bar will turn into a light blue rectangle. Your iPad should immediately start working as a secondary display. It looks like a rectangle with a solid triangle pointing upward at the bottom.įind the iPad you want to use as a secondary monitor and select it. Select the AirPlay icon on your Mac’s Menu Bar. ![]() You do not need to unlock the iPad for Sidecar to work. Make sure your Mac is running macOS Catalina and that your iPad is running iPadOS. ![]()
