Windows Vista SideShow technology enables laptop manufacturers to include a secondary or auxiliary display in future laptop designs. So, what does that mean? Well, you can quickly access the really important information you need like appointments, e-mails, or notes without turning on your laptop using Windows SideShow. Plus, it looks cool!

That's pretty sweet.  more reason for me to wait to upgrade and buy a new computer.
any of that stuff, but your right Laura it does look cool. 

Good show.
Looks really cool, hopefully it won't add too much to the price of the device.
Great segment! Surpised I didn't see Xzibit on there!  I would love to see this integrate with a cell phone, that would come in handy. As well as the remote integrating w/ DVR/Tivo features, heck just throw some spinners on it to make it supe duper fonky fresh.




It seems the combination of easy to use and quick access to important data will make these products very marketable.  The possibilities could be endless with regards to the functions served with these SideShow devices when integrated with the Vista OS.  And the cell phone idea makes perfect sense of course as would a PDA device that is Vista based with perhaps a mobile edition of the OS.  Very interesting...

Thanks for sharing the inside scoop!

I'm glad you guys created this, it is truely wonderful. Something cool and functional. Hopefully this does NOT add to the cost of the laptop.
Cool gadgets! I particularily like the first one. A small screen/interface seems fine to me... not so sure about attaching an iPod to a laptop. Not very esthetic IMO. The remote seems almost futuristic (in concept), I hope it comes out soon.

BTW, I preferred when our lovely hosts would start as the camera rolled as opposed to the chatting before the segment begins, as in the latest videos. Just some minor constructive criticism. Smiley
a small device that syncs to my laptop, lets me read email and my calendar, and has a phone, too! Oh wait, I already do, it's called a Blackberry.
...all over again! Man, I miss that thing. Smiley
