Devices supporting Vista’s SideShow functionality aren’t precisely flowing like water yet (seriously, when’s the last moment you saw someone sporting a W5Fe?), though that’s not necessarily for a lack of interest. The functionality’s plenty cool, it’s just not really an overnight job getting abundant manufacturers on board to support the concept and convert the consumer electronics landscape into a Vista-interfacing armada of small screens. whether you had to boil it all down to precisely two things Microsoft could do to take SideShow from an ultra-niche market to ubiquity, though, let’s be honest: they’d have to be to add Windows Mobile and iPhone support. Indeed, official WinMo support is a standing rumor, but in the meantime you can grab Ikanos Consulting’s Go Gadgets beta, which supports installation and control of SideShow gadgets by pretty much any style of mobile connectivity you can throw at it. Turns out these guys have been hard at work making a general HTML renderer for gadgets, too, and have specialized it to look snappy on mobile Safari — hence the iPhone and iPod touch support. that one isn’t quite

ready for public consumption yet, but whether WinMo’s how you roll, you can sign up for the beta now.
