mstevens: It sure would, but for whatever reason Microsoft hasn't done this. Instead, Ikanos Consulting (link above) has done it. The UI doesn't translate, but the functionality does.

Long time reader/lurker 1st time commenting.

Given the Sidshow product purpose, why has Microsoft not yet released a client for Windows Mobile? Wouldn't that stimulate development of Gadgets from the community?

Hopefully they'll add Sideshow features to the Zune this year. It would be nice for XBOX360 to add Sideshow goodies in the Spring update too. Combine Zune and XBOX marketplace, then release a Zune Media Center software version. "Connected Entertainment" will be here by the end of the decade?

A little off topic and niche, but Ikanos Consulting has a closed beta of SideShow on Windows Mobile devices. I've heard good things, but no installer for x64 machines yet so I can't test. www.ikanosconsulting.com

An alternative to waiting Ricavision to get their act together
