Would You Like That Monitor For Here or To Go?

"DisplayLink spokesperson Kim Stowe told TG Daily that Monitor2Go is a high-quality, full-size display that can be used with virtually any notebook or desktop PC. "Most multi-monitor fans are frustrated when they have to leave their desktop set-up behind and are limited to one screen while traveling," explained Stowe. "
Ever since I went multi-monitor, it has been difficult to go back. My desktop has a triple monitor setup, and when I use my laptop at home, I often hook it up to an additional monitor. However, when I am out on the road, I go slumming and deal with the single display that my laptop provides. There have been some options like carting around a monitor to trying out one of those tiny USB powered monitors however, the new Monitor2Go options sounds tempting. At 1280x800 resolution, the monitor packs enough resolution to be useful for a wide variety of tasks but no comment has been made about whether the 15.4" display is powered by the USB port alone. If that is the case, they might have already found a buyer. Anyone know of other mobile multi-monitor options?
