Microsoft has released Windows Sideshow for Windows Mobile Development beta. Windows SideShow was introduced with Windows Vista, it supported a secondary screen for viewing information without opening the main device. SideShow allows wide variety of devices to retrieve information from your mobile PC or desktop computer. For example, you can check program guide in Windows Media Center by using a display on your remote control. One of the most obvious uses of this technology would have been using a mobile phone screen to get information from the computer, but Microsoft didn’t implement this technology in its mobile OS till now. Today, all that changed as Microsoft released the first beta of Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Development. Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Developer Preview v0.01 is an application for Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PCs and Smartphones that allows you to use your Windows Mobile device as a Bluetooth SideShow-compatible device.
