Ikanos Consulting is developing a framework which is in beta testing which will, when completed, allow you to run Windows SideShow Gadgets on a Windows Mobile device, finally bringing SideShow to the masses.

SideShow is a wonderful technology in Vista, allowing the display and access of data from a Vista PC on external mini-devices (usually little screens with a few buttons on the outside of a PC case), but the hardware is very specific and very rarely implemented. With support for running SideShow programs (Gadgets, just like the Sidebar kind) on mobile phones, SideShow can be used by any of the millions of Windows Mobile phones.

With SideShow, you can check email on your host PC, select music for the PC to play, see the weather or your Messenger buddy list, or load up any Gadget that’s been created by anyone for the purpose. There aren’t a ton of Gadgets now, but once the hardware gets out there (and by enabling existing devices, it gets out there a lot faster), developers will start creating even more cool functionality.

All of a sudden, when I try to send out SMS/Text messages using my Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone, it gives me the error message “Your Text Message Cannot Be Sent”.

The following are the possibilities on how to resolve it:

• Check that the Message center no # is correct. (Use the Data Connection to reset it)
• Ensure that the phone has enough space <– I found out that my Flash Memory has 0.00Mb left, and on deleting files from the flash memory, sending of SMS works again.
• Hard reset your phone if all fails
