I’ve been wanting to record screencasts of apps on my iPad for quite some time, but it hasn’t been possible. Until now.

Hat tip to TUAW:

Ever wanted to use AirPlay mirroring to show the screen of your iPad 2 or iPhone 4/4S on your Mac? Just released, Reflection ($14.99 for a single license, $39.99 for a 5 pack) offers a well-featured mirroring receiver for OS X, ideal for education and demos—and a great way to eliminate the Frankencable for iPad video capture.

I’ve been beta-testing Reflection for several weeks. I watched as David Stanfill (developer of AirParrot, which I introduced a few weeks ago on TUAW) refined and stabilized this app. With Reflection, you can project app demos to your Mac in real time. This is a great feature for any developer or teacher, or even for business folk who would like to bring along their presentations on their phone.

I downloaded Reflection, tried it out, & I’ll be danged if it doesn’t work perfectly. $15 later, I’m the proud owner of the app, & I can’t wait to start recording some screencasts!
