Windows SideShow for iPhone (Video)

Question

 

Hi everybody,

 

We've (Ikanos Consulting) just posted a video demonstrating our iPod touch / iPhone SideShow renderer.

Here we show how you can easily turn an iPhone/iPod into a Windows SideShow device using the Safari web browser which connects to the Go Gadgets software.

 

This video follows on from a previous demonstration where we showed how to use a Windows Mobile device as a Windows SideShow client using the Go Gadgets software.

We are developing the web renderer in parallel with our Windows Mobile renderer; both of which are due for release in 2008.

 

If you are interested in either of these products and would like to join our mailing list, please email beta _at_ ikanosconsulting.com

 

Cheers,

Hi!

it seems to be very attractive, but the videos are not available at YouTube. Can you please update everyone out there about iPhone and SideShow, when or how tos....

Answer 2

If we had to find one way for the iPhone and Windows Vista to interact, it probably would have been via SideShow, Vista's secondary-display technology that gives you a small portable control board that you can tote around. The people at Ikanos Consulting have been fooling around with a SideShow webserver and are creating an iPhone-compatible version (along with DS, Wii, PSP, PS3) to control your PC wherever you have access. It's not available for download yet, but a beta should be coming soon.                       

Answer 3

That's an interesting idea, but i'd be worried about it... Apple+Microsoft would mean practically 99% computer users market share, and global domination by a consorcium is not really good... I think it'd be better if they occasionally cooperated to make stuff more accessible to users of other platform (like Apple releasing Safari for Windows PC's), but not further than that.
