sure it may not seems much but I am reserving my comment until it is at least released. I must day Ilike that dell is thinking of the future, they are trying out ideas and maybe someday they will hit a design that becomes universal and puts out current design to shame.]]>Nov 6th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/

Apparently you're not allowed to be proud of your concepts, however fantastic or revolutionary they may be

As for Apple, they don't NEED to show off concepts. All they have to do is 'leak' an image of a SIM CARD TRAY, and the whole internet goes apeshit and makes the concept art for them. ]]>Nov 6th 2009 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/23/automobiles/collectibles/23UGLY.html?_r=3

And indeed http://www.engadget.com/tag/sideshow/]]>Nov 6th 2009 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/
But about every use I've seen has been WAY overpriced for the functionality you get out of it, and usually been way too gadgety.

You can get 7" 800x600/800x480 displays that are USB controlled and powered, but the $200 going price is way too much when you can add a 17" monitor and USB video adapter for not much more than that.

The link simbr gave has a good use - a MPC case that has a small SideShow on the chassis. With appropriate software, you could use the SideShow as the main control panel for media playing - DVD, Blu-ray, TV, etc - without messing up the main screen with over-large, distracting controls. Or even otherwise headless use as an audio player.

A wifi alarm clock would be another good use, but the few I've seen that head that way are Linux-based (with a skin) stand-alone devices, not SideShow. It could give weather at a touch, full calander/schedule at a glance, etc. Custom alarms, selectable fonts, colors, and brightness. And it could play any music from your PC, not just AM/FM.

But $2000 just to add some nice touches? Only for the wealthy.]]>Nov 6th 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/]]>Nov 6th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/Nov 6th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/unused-adamo-xps-prototypes-reveal-touchscreen-trackpads-key-le/]]>Nov 6th 2009 8:25PM
