1. Run Windows.
2. Run Outlook as your Calendar/Mail Client.

This ONLY works if you do that and Exchange and Outlook hardly have a monopoly.]]>Mar 27th 2006 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/Mar 27th 2006 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/
MS has a monopoly, so I don't use Windows
and/or Outlook.

Waaahhhh. It's not fair that MS did
this for THEIR products.

Look at Sideshow as more of a PMP enabling technology, and not as a little brick that snaps into the lid of your laptop. This is the best effort yet by Microsoft to attack the biggest competitive advantage Apple has in PMP's - HW/SW integration.

People want powerful computers but feasable ways to easily and sometimes discretly use them.

I just wish that Samsung/Toshiba would actually make something from their flexible LCD displays.]]>Mar 27th 2006 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/Mar 27th 2006 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/

I do aggree with some other people, that is a huge bulge in the back of the laptop screen...]]>Mar 27th 2006 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/Mar 27th 2006 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/
which is exactly why I got a 2nd monitor... 6 years ago...]]>Mar 27th 2006 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/Mar 27th 2006 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/scoble-posts-vid-of-microsofts-auxiliary-display/
Position it near the top of the lid so you can flip it up when you are using the laptop screen, and thus have a secondary monitor available. Use it to track chat during games, torrents during movies (put the popup messages here!), or monitor your email while working on a spreadsheet.

A touch-screen or pen interface would be useful as well.

In fact, is anybody making 'info bars' or screens available for desktop use? e.g. a strip to attach to my monitor (news ticker? widgets etc.)]]>Nov 30th 2006 8:00AM
