Anyone have one of these and care to share their thoughts?

We use the 10" (Model 100) version. It does a really nice job as a
"read-only" Windows SideShow rendering device (it does not send navigation
or commands back to the Windows SideShow Gadget running on the host
computer). However, note that it only displays one Windows SideShow
Gadget's information at a time (a two to three line display). There is a
delay between updates on the screen, bit it keeps up pretty well. Also note
that this product is based on the Windows .NET Micro Framework running on
Windows CE. They have done a really nice job on the implementation. We
highly recommend it.

Derek,

The Momento implementation that we made at i-mate does not run on the Micro
Framework. It is actually just a C# implementation written using the .NET
Compact Framework and since we were only parsing glance content the job was
made much easier.

Thanks for the clarification. It was hard for us to distinguish between the
two approaches as "outsiders." I guess that also explains the "view only"
functionality a little better.

Either way, we love it and recommend it to others that have seen it and like
what it delivers.
