Last week I suggested a second monitor as a productivity-boosting device. This idea takes it to the extreme:

SideWindow transforms your PDA into a virtual desktop extension, allowing you to drag applications such as your favorite picture viewer, media player and instant messaging applications to your PDA while freeing your main display’s real estate for something more useful.

I actually can think of a use or two for this, but having a tiny 240×320 second monitor is a pretty funny concept. And at least in theory (I haven’t actually checked the specs for this add-in), you could actually take as many as nine Pocket PCs and use them as mini-monitors on your desktop, dragging a different widget onto each one. Even I am not that geeky.
