Cool, I can't wait till there's something downloadable to play with. I used Rudeo MCE control with XP MCE, but I don't think it works with Vista Media Center.

Seeing the work that Raven_coda and Kona_Mtbkr have done to emulate the Cube, I wonder if they would be interested in turning their hands to emulating the, so-far, unreleased Sideshow for Windows Mobile.

It looks like a pretty swanky interface and I'm sure that, if it were available now, most people would be racing to get in onto their devices.

Obviously it is more complicated than the Cube in that each page has live/updating data displayed, but what a project to get your teeth into.

It could be created in page form like the Cube, with sweeping motions to move to the next page and even be called up by the DownUp sweeping motion used to open the Cube. The opening could also included a rotation of the screen.

Just a suggestion...

i like that idea of having the information from sideshow, whats playing now with wmp, or rss, or stocks or email from the mail sideshow, that would be great.

or on the HTC Home screen where you go left or right to view each sideshow gadgets displayed information.
