Windows SideShow on Channel 9

  • Article

A few of us on the Windows SideShow team had a chance to talk to Robert Scoble. He filmed a little video for channel 9 where we show off some of the functionality and prototype hardware. The video shows off a few sample gadgets we have written to show calendar data and allow media playback.

This is a prototype laptop PC with a 220 x 176 color screen and a few buttons right next to it to allow you to navigate the UI. It is always on and stores cached data when the PC turns off or goes into standby. The prototype has our development board wired into it. We expect the hardware to get smaller and cheaper in production models. If we can have cell phones enabled with Windows SideShow, that opens up the platfrom to a lot of devices. What would be your device of choice?
