Market Acceptance
Few OEMs accepted SideShow.
In 2007, Asus announced the W5Fe, a laptop with a full-color, 2.8-inch SideShow display on the front cover.
On February 1, 2010, Ikanos Consulting announced Threemote, a suite of Windows SideShow compatible products for embedded platforms including Windows Mobile, Google Android, and Kopin Golden-i. Threemote appears unsupported and had been unavailable from the Android Market for some time as of September 2011, nor was it available for Windows Mobile. In a blog posting in April 2010 the technical director of Ikanos consulting said that Sideshow was not dead and Threemote was "bubbling along".
On February 7, 2012, Chris James released "MS Sideshow Device", an implementation of a Windows Sideshow device for Google Android.
Microsoft discontinued the Sideshow gallery. A duplication of the sideshow gallery content is available at Windows Sidebar Gadget Gallery

Famous quotes containing the words market and/or acceptance:
“To market ‘tis our destiny to go.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Cats of all kinds weave in and out of the text; Burroughs has clearly taken to them in a big way in his old age and seems torn between a fear they will betray him into sentimentality and a resigned acceptance that a man can’t be ironic all the time.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
