Asus ScreenDUO: Windows SideShow device?

Asusscreenduo

MobileWhack has this interesting pic that appears to be a secondary display for your computer, but details are between slim and none. It looks like it could be a Windows SideShow display for RSS feeds, PIM info and whathaveyou, but all we have is a small screen, a few controls and a funky blue picture. The buttons look like "enter" and "back" functions and the knobbie-wheel looks like a directional pad. It could be useful for external Vista information or then again, it could be a Blu-Ray laser toaster. Considering its name of ScreenDUO, I'm betting on the former.

Here's some more info for you... according to this article at The Register (scroll to the picture), its a USB connected SideShow device...

The pic also shows a remote... it would be assumed the remote is to the ASUS SideShow device? If so, this could be pretty nice for other devices too. I could, for example, use it with my UX when its docked on my desk. Not sure what the other brick is (black square thing) on the other USB port...

SuppOrtLinux "Not sure what the other brick is (black square thing) on the other USB port" I believe its the IR to the remotekontrol.
