Sideshow for Mobile RTM?

Question

Hi,
       Haven't used Sideshow for Mobile lately so I redownloaded the preview and when I fire it up, I get "This version has expired. Please install RTM."

    Can't seem to find a newer release then the dev preview.
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

same issue here.

Answer 2

Yeah, the version I have installed expired on the 1st of January (it worked fine on the 31st of December).  There doesn't seem to be a newer version available yet.

Answer 3

Well,

   Hopefully Toby(MSFT)  will be able to help.

Answer 4

Argh, that's so typical... I find a nice new toy and it stops working right when I just found it...
Oh well, hope there'll be a new version soon, hopefully before the day after tomorrow cause that's when the sideshow ability would be most usefull :-)

Answer 5

same here. I'm so in love with it I'm willing to buy it just please MSFT make it available, I have a presentation on 13th.

Thank goodness I found this thread.  I thought it was a problem with my PC and was tearing out my hair trying to get it working again.  I hope the Windows Media Player gadget (as opposed to Media Center) still works in the new version.  Toby, any ETA for the updated preview?  Thanks to everybody who is working on this great tool.

Answer 8

Working on it!  It should be available very soon.

Thanks,

Toby

man wish i had read this earlier before i started banging my head into the wall, so focused on trying to get to the link i didn't stop to read this >.<

This has so much potential I would LOVE to get this on my HTC :D I play alot of games on the PC and always have my phone in its cradle, would be so much more useful as a sideshow device along with my logitech g15. Makes me wanna think up some useful WoW gadgets and see what can be done, even a ventrilo gadget would be nice so i can modify vent settings, mute, see who's on the mic, change channels, so many possibilities all without alt-tabbing out.

Thanks for your work Toby :)
