I think there's a few neat functions mentioned: controlling WMP, viewing/controlling powerpoint presentations etc
p.s. someone should post this as a forum attachment without needing to go through microsoft download centre

Holy crap... I guess I really didn't understand what was going on as I stated in this thread, I had already been doing this kind of stuff using GoGadgets! from another developer. But now I get that its official from MS. They even took the EXACT SAME software that Ikanos Consulting created... sheesh.
Thanks for the video, I always thought that GoGadgets was cool stuff.
Hope this brings more light into this awesomeness.
I have already uninstalled it because I only care about anything "Media Center" SideShow. Haven't found one and haven't really looked for one as of late.
The T-Mo Wing is seriously underpowered but I was actually getting along rather smooth. Also using Bluetooth as the connection is sorta useless if you walk out of range. Which is not too far in my house. Connecting was fast and simple after the initial setup. The today plugin thing is nice but again sorta useless. I really expected it to have controls right there so you wouldn't have to navigate so many pages.
I know I am critical and this is the official first release and it is not even a finished product just a developers release. But it has potential.
very, very, very COOL!

Yes, it seemed quite quick on your youtube link
An alternative is the old Salling Clicker
It supports wifi and bluetooth and WinXP. Also supports itunes and WMP
Don't forget to check out the Sideshow dev's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/sideshow/
It has the Runtime and SDK for developing gadgets using managed code (ie .NET), and a prebuilt example

Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.
If you have XP SP2 or higher its built in but if you use a 3rd party Stack like from toshiba etc. you might have trouble. you have to figure out what stack you have...

I went through a bit of a headache getting mine to work. Maybe I can help. I just need you to write in a more coherent manner.
I had a few issues too. If I installed the PPC component before pairing, the PC would not locate and install the appropriate drivers. If I paired first, then enabled the SideShow BT service, the PC would locate and install the drivers just fine. I tried this several times, and that was the only way that worked for me. Weird. YMMV.
It's annoying that all the fancy new software is made for Vista.
*Crosses Windows Mobile Device Centre off the list
*Crosses Windows SideShow For Windows Mobile off the list
Alright. so a little batch of detailed insturctions about using this:
(during the process make sure your device is DISCOVERABLE)
1. It doesn't REALLY matter if you're using MS STACK or TOSHIBA STACK as long as there is a sideshow service detected.
A. if you have toshiba stack:
right click on the bluetooth tray icon and open the bluetooth devices.
add a new one and detect the service MANUALLY (choose CUSTOM).
if you see a service called "...sideshow..." on the list, you can use it. it is mostly UNprobable that you will.
connect to your device
continue to section C
B. if you have ms stack:
right click on the tray icon.
click options.
add a new device.
pair it using your own passkey.
open the options once more and you see your device in the Devices window.
click on it and click properties.
go to services and, if you installed sideshow on your device, and ran it, you should see Sideshow in the list.. as well as Activesync and a few others maybe.
click ok and it'll try to connect to your device.
(if you can't connect, go to COM ports in OPTIONS And install a new one. i used COM port 3..)
C. go to control panel, go to sideshow, and you should be able to mark V on the gadgets you'd like to use.
2. MS stack: double click the provided file. install it and read the TXT that appears on your desktop for further instructions...
TOSHIBA stack: just install the stack..
make sure you uninstall each before installing the other.
these are both the LATEST versions of both stacks: (up until the day of posting this message of course )
TOSHIBA STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120186967/TOSHIBA_BTSTACK.zip.html
MS STACK:
http://rapidshare.com/files/120187911/MS_BTSTACK.exe.html
i strongly suggest you keep both files on your comp as a cover for any services one might provide while the other doesn't.
for instance, to my knowledge, MS stack works HORRIBLY with Async...
while TOSHIBA stack doesn't work with sideshow at all. (at least from what i've experienced)

Go Gadget
Has anyone got the Go Gadget Beta?
I would really like to try it.
I have tried Microsofts version, but I have heard that Go Gadget supports Home Automation.
Can it work via USB ?
HARDWARE COMPASS IN ALL HTC DEVICES WITH THE AK8976A CHIP?!?!
As said by some (tuxhero for example => here) ,the Touch HD has a real hardware compass inside waiting to be activated by some clever dev.
If you are such a dev here is some bounty for you as a little encuragement.
Goal:
Build a little proof of concept application (for winmo) and open the sources for all xda devs.
As for the bounty:
050$ Draque:the_Plaque
050$ maati + additionl 100$ if it works in google maps. (But only if released before the HTC Leo
050$ tids2k
050$ LC40
--------------------
200$
reserved for more
It's nice but i am not sure. Please don't go on my words. Some one said that me and i said it to you. No real Proofs.
i thought the new Samsung OmniaII/pro was the only WM devices that has hardware for a digital compass

what other devices has this
it might be worthwhile to extract the compass application from the omnia2 rom dump for testing purposes
Is this screen from the omnia2 or pro?
And is this a test app from microsoft?
It doesn't work on my HTC Touch HD.
Hi, there is a test app that comes with the HTC Debug Tools set for this compass, some time ago I analyzed it and determined that it was likely present in the hardware, but I have never gotten it to function on my Raphael.
Lacking an HD device to test with, I can't say if it works there, but I can provide the app I will attach it shortly.
About the AK7986A sensor.
In the test application under help:
AKEMD 2007 (name and year is viewed)

The app is not signed.
Da_G, i just tried on my HD the soft you shared to us;
-open and close seem to be ok but nothing happens
if you choose to re-open without closing before it will give this logical error:board already connected.
edit:
-init, start and stop give this logical error without open : board not found
-init, start and stop give this logical error with open : board already connected
So the soft is probably ok but for our HD we need to use the good input/output in the dll

You have to copy the DDLs to Windows folder. However, "init" or "start" from the menu only brings up an error message "The board is not connected". Some graphical glitches as well ... seems to be made for QVGA.
So with a small possibility that Layar (3.0 ?) will come to Windows Mobile based phones, we really need a working compass for that to work.
Anyone still working on this? Would be a great addition for all our HTC devices!
Ps. For those who don't know Layar yet; it's an Augmented Reality app for Android and soon iPhone 3.0. Go visit http://layar.eu/ and think of trading WM for Android .

Same happens on a Rhodium, would be very nice to have it working.
It needs a device called ECS1:, this driver is not present on Touch HD.
Maybe first we should check if any of new WM devices actually have AKM chip inside?
Does Windows Mobile provide any kind of a compass API? How difficult would it be to write a program like Layar or Wikitude or build compass support into Google Maps?
I'm thinking about buying an Omnia II or waiting for the HTC Leo, both should probably have the compass hardware, but how about any apps that use the compass? How long do you think it will take until we see an augmented reality apps for Windows Mobile?
Does anyone know which compass is used in the htc polaris?
Ar are the cab files for the polaris hw compass available by chance?
btw: if anyone wants to raise the bounty for this project just pm me or write it directly into the thread.
I did some more research into this, I am working with a driver for this for raph right now..
Let's see what I can come up with

Hi all,
BSODroid is my first Android application. It is a proof of concept implementation of a flaw in Windows Vista, which is so far unpatched (although Microsoft are due to start distributing the patch any moment now), that allows a user to send a Blue Screen of Death to that computer over the network.
To test your home, office or clients' machines, or even just to have some fun with your friends, all you need to do is connect to their network via WiFi, enter in their hostname (either IP or actual hostname will work), and press Execute!
Note: the target Vista machine must have network file / printer sharing turned on (though most people have it turned on these days)
This is a fun little application I created yesterday and have been having playing with my friends' computers on their home network and showing them the Windows flaw.
Video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIy_d94tDmQ
As I said, it will be patched soon, so anyone who has Windows Updates enabled will be immune to it within the next 72 hours or so.
BSODroid can be downloaded from the Android Market (just search for BSODroid!) or alternatively you can download the APK directly from my website: http://www.dereenigne.com/

From what I can tell, it works on most of the beta copies and some RC copies of Windows 7, but it doesn't work on the RTM version - what a shame!
Still, lots of fun!
Didn't work on my Win 7 RC machine. Maybe I'm up to date?

Yeah, seems as though it works on some builds of Win 7, but not others.
It works on Win Server 2008 too.
I hope people are having their fun with it now, because Microsoft already have a patch in the works - I'm not sure if it's being pushed through Windows Updates yet, but if not then it will be quite soon!
Though, it will still always work on machines that don't run Windows Updates

It's being installed by the user, so it's not a virus at all. I personally think this is a neat little proof of concept program, and would love to have a copy for my WinMo device. Besides, if these proof of concept exploits weren't created, the software companies wouldn't have a reason to patch/fix their software until somebody with more malicious intents came along and used it. Hope there's a port to WinMo soon.

Ha cool...
Could be fun to make a "one stop shop" for stuff like this.
There's the unpatched IIS flaw as well which is easy as hell to abuse.
Select exploit (or select all), select target ip (+port/username etc for stuff like an IIS exploit), execute (on an iis exploit that'd use default port, anonymous/anonymous).
Is there any interest in this? Think it could be rather interesting to code

I"d be highly interested in that.
Have almost broken 1000 downloads! (Currently at 950)
If anyone's interested, go ahead and give it a try from the market!
Thank you. Great app, worked with my windows vista sp2.
Thanks!! I'm dying for this kind of apps
If this had a way to find IP's in use on the network it would be perfect, or just a multicast mode. Go to starbucks and listen to everyone groan at the same time.
Hi everybody,
I managed to install a version of debian (with gnome) on the A101.
Most of the things works but the wifi is not yet fully operational. I work on it right now.
Edit : Wifi activated, and patch for sound available
Here is the file rootfs.img into two parts. For now, the only version is in French but soon I will upload an English version.
Edit : Supports english, see wiki for instructions
For more informations visit http://www.debian-archos.com
I will check this thread if you have any question about my debian.
Links are here http://www.debian-archos.com/download-debian-for-archos-gen8
Login : debian
password : debian
su password : debian
Enjoy
**Edit**
Added a tutorial on "How to create a rootfs.img" on my website
*******
That is very cool. I don't speak or read French, so I can't really check it out, but how is the speed compared to Froyo?
it take time to launch but after it's pretty fast, but the interest is primarily to release all the capabilities of the tablet!
And don't worry, i'm making an english version at this time, but it takes a lot of time, so be patient !

At this time the orientation Sensor and wifi doesn't work. Some internal devices like the screen are not recognized but works anyway, i have making a drivers package, but i only know the "isnmod" for integrate them
ok, let us know when you manage to get these working, almost done downloading it!
EDIT: I'll try and see if i can get them to work and if i do, i'll let you know
So, things that currently don't work are wi-fi, bluetooth, orientation sensor, hadware graphics and audio... a part from those issues I'm impressed on how well debian runs on the archos 70

Debian or Ubuntu on A70 it
Hello,
Really nice work, i hope you get the WIFI 100% and sound so it will be perfect for me !
As someone told you on your website, the coming Ubuntu release named "Natty Narwhal 11.04" will get the UNITY and GNOME interface, and it will be easy to switch from one to another, UNITY is also what looks like the Ubuntu Netbook Edition screen.
Maybe you can try to get UNITY inside Debian ? you will find more here :
//help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuNetbookEdition
Ex :With Ubuntu 10.10 a new desktop called "Unity" was introduced as default for the Ubuntu netbook edition. The new interface should use the small desktop of netbooks more effectively, give a better structured access to the installed application and be more touchscreen-friendly. It is already planned to use Unity as default desktop for Ubuntu 11.04
I am really exited for this. I have always wanted to use Linux as my main OS, but because of certain things I need (i.e. World of Warcraft ) that don't work well on Ubuntu, I always end up uninstalling and going back to Windows.
So I would love to have a nice Ubuntu/Android dual boot system on my A70. Keep up the good work.
And guys, don't forget to thank the OP. It's great when people do things like this to give us non-dev types better products.
Squeeze on A43it \o/
I did it using the same method.
And my 43it successfully booted Debian Squeeze.

The main problem is screen calibration. The pointer remains about 5 mm away from the screen borders, which make the menu totally unusable.
But as the center of the screen is usable, I managed to launch some applications.

Did you wake up late yesterday and miss the several other posts about this? Clearly if you think it "works perfectly," this post doesn't surprise me, lol. It won't transfer any file except the formats it wants you to transfer, it doesn't integrate well with iTunes aside from music, and it puts movies in "Videos" directory, which is completely counter to everything Android does... a good early beta, but certainly far from "perfectly"

Not sure, you should probably ask that in the rooting thread. I'm fairly certain ADB is generic, but the drivers might not work for Mac to enable your mac to be able to ADB into your Samsung. I have always used Parallels or Vmware Fusion to install windows and handle all my rooting needs. There's better support on the forums for windows rooters, so I just use windows on my mac when I need to root.

Not a bad idea for a worst case scenario. I already have Parallels on my iMac so I suppose if I had to I could use that...its just I'd have to relearn the ins and outs of rooting since I've always used the Mac side of things for rooting, and it took me forever to get the hang of that.

Well the process is the same, but before you can connect to a usb device your computer has to have the drivers... and Samsung is a bit different so it can be a little more challenging to get it to recognize the device. I hear people do it I'm just not willing to take the extra steps needed when compared to just booting into winblowz.

So you mean you hear of people getting it to work on a Mac only what you're saying is you find it easier to just use Parallels instead?
And on that note, if I did do my rooting via Parallels I would still need to acquire the drivers for the Tab from Samsung, yes?

So I had another member in another thread reply to me about this topic saying he/she suggests getting a copy of Windows and using Boot Camp rather than Parallels, saying that he never had luck using Parallels for this sort of thing. Did you ever run into any difficulties in this way (i.e. getting drivers to load, getting devices to be recognized, etc??)?
fyi...I installed this on my mbp and while transferring some avi's which were about 800-900MB in size, the app would repeatedly crash on me.
Afterwards, i tried to copy about 800 pics from my mac to the tab using kies and midway through, the app crashed again.
The way I got around this ''feature' is I started copying files in increments of 100 pics. this went fine.
With regards to the avi, the file copy was successful on my 4th attempt.
before the 4th attempt, I rebooted my mac and also the tab just to be sure...
suffice to say, I'm glad I did not buy the tab for myself. The person I bought it for owns only win xp pc's and my hope is that kies behaves much much better on a pc than on a mac...

Never really had an issue, you just have to understand how port virtualization works, and how some devices want a more "real" port so you have to establish the connection, set as default to parallels, then re-establish that connection. Parallels will never be as solid as installing windows and natively booting to it, but it's pretty good.
Mine pissed me off for the final time today, so I returned the tab. I love the device, love the idea of Android on a tablet, but I just can't do it with it being so early in it's development. Not having 1-click sync with iTunes, and easy support of a wide variety of movies without having to convert just kills it for me. Maybe in 6 months I'll try again.
still a beta
After I transfer a word document from mac to SGT10.1 via Kids, I was not able to find that document in NY tablet. Does Anybody know where it might be?

Well I just received my tab, and Ive tried connecting and carrying out the instructions in the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root & full back up" thread, but I've run into an immediate problem - after getting into APX mode, then plugging in via USB, Windows XP in Parallels is not recognizing the tab (it isn't showing up in the device manager). I know APX is successful, because I got a popup on my mac asking where the APX device should be opened (either in Windows or on the Mac). But unfortunately in the device manager it is nowhere to be found. Any tips or tricks on making this happen? I really know nothing about port virtualization
i'm so screwed up. i thought they never had the problem solved so today i finally installed boot camp. then i opened windows web browser to download it and saw the word "for Mac". I feel such a shame for myself. but I am indeed happy about that lol. DAMN. I am so depressed for my dumbness.
is that normal to see "GTxxxx doesn't support firmware update" ??
