Windows Vista SideShow to Mobile Devices Courtesy of ThinkRemote

"Interesting, while Microsoft still treats Windows Vista's SideShow stepmotherly, after Ikanos Consulting, the second ASP enters the market now to bring SideShow to mobile devices, such as Windows Mobile smartphones, iPods and even portable game consoles and remote controls. With support for wired, wireless, and Internet-based connectivity, ControlThink's ThinkRemote wants to keep you connected to your PC and your content anytime, anywhere. With Windows Vista SideShow, you can change the music on your PC, view your vacation photos or navigate a PowerPoint presentation using your phone."
This looks very interesting, though I have to confess I don't fully understand the software behind it all - I didn't think an iPhone had the software hooks necessary to run as a Sideshow device. Someone that understands all this please explain it to me... :-)
