So, I stumbled upon a neat
(if not the most useful
) little PPC program today. It's called SideWindow, and it's put out by a company called Innobec Technologies
(http://www.innobec.com
). Basically, it allows you to use a PPC as an extra monitor for your desktop machine while connected via Activesync.
Not the most useful program in the world, especially with the tiny screens on a PPC. So far, the best use I've found for it is to put my Taskbar on to the PPC screen
(I have a Jornada 548 PPC
), allowing me to activate the Start Menu and Quick Launch buttons with finger taps, and opening up that much more desktop space.
Unfortunately, with many new Windows CE titles out there, this one is for PPC only - H/PC devices not supported.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar program, that *was* H/PC compatible? 240x320 isn't terribly useful for extra desktop space, but having an extra 640x240 monitor from time to time could be useful!
(Especially when I sit down at my desktop computer, with the MobilePro 780 connected and recharging, only to suddenly start poking at my desktop's flatpanel monitor with my fingers!
I'm sure I'm not the only H/PC user whose done this.....
