"It's been a while that we talked about Microsoft's Windows Vista SideShow feature and while SideShow is still not too popular, finally there are some good chances we might see it officially coming to Windows Mobile as well. Windows SideShow is a new technology which was introduced with Windows Vista and so far it's mostly used to support a secondary screen on mobile PCs, even if the developers also had remote control support for Windows Media Center, and digital photo frames in mind. With this additional display you can view important information whether your laptop is on, off, or in sleep mode."
Since this feature requires hardware support I wonder if it will show up on Windows Mobile devices anytime soon. We shall see. Have a look at this article by Arne Hess if you want to know more.
