SideWindow turns your Pocket PC into a secondary display

You can wait for Longhorn to deliver auxiliary display functionality — which will allow you to run certain apps on separate dedicated displays — or for $15, you can install SideWindow and use your Pocket PC as an secondary display right now. The app installs on XP, and tricks Windows into treating the Pocket PC as an additional screen. You can drag any window over to your new mini-monitor, allowing you to use it as, say, an IM console, image viewer, or sticky note display, without installing any software on the PDA. Now all we need is a way to do this wirelessly, so we can use the Pocket PC as a mini-tablet and carry it across the office and kick back with it on the couch.
