pretty straight forward but I don't know ios. Do I need any hardware? It's a friends ipad 3 I believe.

Basically he wants netflix, email, safari etc to display on his lcd acros the room wirelessly.

Thanks, I was aware of that, just wasn't sure if that was the only way to do it.

If you can get an Apple TV 2 those things are great when jailbroke. I have XBMC on mine and it opens up a whole new world of opportunities

OK, but I definitely will need the apple tv of some sort to make it work for him? I don't want to be tied up having to answer questions from him for the next 6 months, lol. The more I show this guy the worse he gets haha.

it's the easiest with a stock apple tv. Literally 5 minutes of setup - add in wifi info, add in apple home sharing info, done.

Got problems? Send his ass to the apple store.

Redirect him to the Apple store for questions (and start playing dumb). :D
