Creston Announces Windows Sideshow Support

More devices that support SideShow = GoodThing™

Hopefully between these, the elusive sideshow remotes, and multiple software betas for devices we might finally see this technology get used. I think it has so much potential, but the lack of devices is killing it!

I want to be able to control my media center without having to turn on the TV all the time. Especially for playing music.
