Microsoft announces Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Development Beta
Filed under: Cellphones, Desktops, Laptops
We’ve heard rumors about it and even seen some third party apps that bring Vista’s SideShow tech to Windows Mobile devices, but Microsoft has finally made the obvious crossover an official reality with the release of the Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Development Beta. It’s still in early, early stages (the version number is 0.01), but if you’re feeling particularly courageous you can install the beta on WinMo 5 and 6 devices that use the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and have the .NET Compact Framework installed and have them function as SideShow devices when in range of your machine, and access previously-sent data when you’re away. Let us know how things go in comments, won’t you?
