You can even use the scrolling display driver stand alone without the adapter to view big things on your PDA like remote desktops.
The only drawback to this device is that anything that writes directly to the screen, i.e. VIDEO playback, can not be redirected. So, while you can do slide shows or surf the net on a TV or LCD, you can't watch a movie. if it had been able to do that, it would have been truly awsome. Still, coupled with a bluetooth keyboard, you can have a portable e-mail or slideshow device. Ultimately, I decided to just get a UMPC (Sony VAIO UX-280P) to carry around when I need more. So the SDV-842 just sits in a drawer unused.
