What was I just saying about cool SideShow stuff coming? ;)

So since this works with any SideShow device, and there’s SideShow for Windows Mobile, and if it was WiFi, then you could view this stuff from anywhere in the house (or am I having a brain cramp)?

Hum…need to find some time to play with this (and maybe, finally, get a new cell? I don’t see why, my Motorola peanut is only 6-7+ years old… :p  )
