OK, this looks really cool. I am not sure about what I would use it for, but it looks cool. The connections available to connect to your PC are USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, and Mobile Web. The 1st 3 require you being somewhat near your PC, so those would be useless in my eyes. Why would you use your device when you PC is that close?

Today we announced Go Gadgets Beta 2.  This allows you to turn any Windows Mobile 5/6 device into a Windows SideShow device.  Once enabled, the Windows SideShow gadgets will allow you to do many things, such as controlling Windows Media Player, control a PowerPoint presentation, read your stocks etc…
