I've been working on an application to turn my N800 into a Windows Sideshow device.

I've currently got Bluetooth communications sorted, and have just about completed the gadget glance page (see screenshot below). Using the application needs nothing more than a Bluetooth connection between your IT and Vista/7 PC.

The next step will be handling the actual gadgets (being able to read email, change tracks etc), but I think just the glance page is useful enough for now.

Is this the kind of application that you guys would use? Would you like to make any comments or suggestions?

I don't use Vista (or Windows at all) often (though I am planning on replacing Vista with Win 7 on my laptop). But if I was booted into Windows I could see myself using it.

I wonder if there's a cross platform, open standard equivalent for such?

Sure I would, as soon as I get a bluetooth nubbin!

Which I need to stop holding out on, so I can use BlueMaemo too.

Awesome, mostly if you can get that change tracks thing to work!

If something like this:
http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/221611
works, that would be awesome!

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys.

There's no reason why the WinAmp gadget shouldn't work. I'll test that at sometime.

I'll keep working on the app, and hopefully release a proof of concept beta sometime soon.

Since I was dreaming bout that stuff long ago, I'd gladly help with visuals if you like. Keep up the good work!

I've been working more on this today, making it a bit more stable. it now also monitors battery/charging status.

If anybody is interested in testing this, send me a PM.

Currently, there is no dependency checking or anything like that. Just the Python code and needed external files. IT IS NOT READY FOR GENERAL USE, so testers only please.
