They finally got around to releasing a version of SideShow (this is MS's official beta, not a 3rd party). Tried it on my phone with Ricky/Kavana's v23. It works (no crashes yet)... some problems with browsing the media files library (content malformed).

The real bummer is that the home plug-in works does not work with the new 6.1 panel home (you either have to revert to the old 5/6 home screen to browse email, content, feeds, etc.). You can go to it as a regular app but that somewhat defeats it's purpose.

Anyone think that it can be ported to to work with 6.1 sliding panels?

Free download on MS's site without having to contend with RapidShare:

Thoughts anyone.

Same here, it looked graphically promising but oh well.
