Windows Phone Thoughts: Microsoft Releases Beta Windows Media Center SideShow Gadget

"Brilliant, one of my very personal hot topics is Microsoft's SideShow technology for Windows Vista which is a technology for distributing interactive content to connected small-screen devices, such as Windows Mobile smartphones. The content is created and managed by small software applications called SideShow gadgets. And while Microsoft finally released the long awaited SideShow application for Windows Mobile a while ago, even if yet available as an early Beta only, one of the most anticipated SideShow gadget wasn't available so far - a Windows Vista Media Center gadget to remote control the Media Center from mobile devices like smartphones."

So now the Windows Vista Media Center can interact with your Windows Mobile device. The UnWired has some info on the recent Slideshow Gadget and how it interacts between Vista and the mobile device. As noted in the article, there are some bugs so remember that it's in beta form and use with your own risk.
