Yeah I think the site is good at swallowing news post attempts. I put in a news submission about those windows mobile sideshow gadgets too a couple weeks ago and it just disappeared. Since my PC has no bluetooth, I haven’t been able to try the gadgets out yet. Thinking of buying a cheap bluetooth dongle if it’s worthwhile. Judging by Ian’s review, it’s not quite stable yet but it definitely sounds like it has potential. My main interest with sideshow was being able to play music without having to turn on the TV, and Ian demonstrates that exact functionality. Woo! So the lack of sideshow remotes won’t be too huge of a deal if I can use my phone to do the same thing. Sure, I’d rather have just one device. But at least this doesn’t require me to buy anything other than what I already have. I just wonder how much more wonky it’ll behave when using it through an extender.
