Well, there’s of course a caveat.  We’ve been using our own Windows SideShow engine in 3rd party CE devices for 18 months so it was about time we used it ourselves!

We decided to use Windows Mobile 6.5 as our reference and designed a really nice Glance screen to show off all of your connected applications!

Our aim is to synchronise the features in the Android and Windows Phone versions and so far everything is working to plan.

Features:

• Supports Windows Mobile 6.0 +
• Full Threemote Client with complete gadget access
  • Windows Media Player
  • Windows Media Center
  • PowerPoint
  • Many more …
• Supports many screen resolutions and orientations
• Wi-Fi Connectivity
  • Bluetooth support is planned
• Full integration with notification system
• Available very soon …

Beta:

As with the Android release; we want you!  The application is nearing completion but there’s nothing like a public Beta test phase to hunt out those last few issues.

So, head on over to http://www.threemote.com/contact.php and send us your details.

Nuts and Bolts:

This particular Threemote implementation (along with the Golden-i device) utilises the Ikanos Consulting SideShow Renderer for Windows CE.  Through this, we can convert any CE 5 / CE 6 device into a SideShow device with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi access.  If you’d like to add Threemote to your own CE device, drop us a line.  We’d be happy to send demonstrations and walk through any implementation and licensing details.

The engine is currently used on a few announced (and even unannounced) devices and has also been ported to other platforms.  Well, we had to start somewhere when writing the Android code .
