SideShow Is One of the Coolest Technologies with Vista

SideShow is the technology Microsoft is rolling out with Vista that allows a Vista PC (even if its hibernating) to transmit data to other devices like remote controls and small LCD displays. CE Pro has a nice slideshow from CES highlighting a multitude of different devices that will use SideShow.

I'm pretty excited about SideShow - imagine being able to see if you have any new emails without opening and turning your laptop on. Or what about a text LCD display on your keyboard when you are gaming? There was even one application for a SideShow display on the outside of a messenger bag!

What SideShow device would you like to see?
