Windows SideShow on Mobile

Have you heard about Windows SideShow? It’s kind of a geeky feature of Windows Vista. :-P

It allows you to connect an external device to your PC, displaying gadgets like incoming e-mails, photo galleries among other stuff. There are already some devices that support this feature. You may be familiar with an ASUS laptop which comes with a display on top of it.

There are other devices detached from your laptop like digital picture frames.

More details available in the Windows Vista official website - Window SideShow details.

A beta version of a piece of software is now available which transforms your Windows Mobile 5 or 6 devices into a Windows SideShow compliant device (using bluetooth). :)

The developer preview can be found at Microsoft Download Center. Follow the instructions that come with the software. After a successful install you can download and install new gadgets from Window Live Gallery. (Suggestions: Microsoft Office Power Point Remote and Picture Viewer)

You can configure your gadgets for each plugged Windows SideShow device in the Windows Control Panel (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Windows SideShow).

Take a look at some screenshots at Chris Craft’s Blog.
