Gearlog - Portal Player's Secondary Display On Acer Notebooks:
"It started out with a partnership with Asus notebooks that placed a secondary display on the outer lid of their notebooks, and now Portal Player will partner up with Acer to do the same thing on their notebooks. The idea here is to have a smaller display where a user can access information within seconds. A key enabler of this technology is a new feature supported by Windows Vista and a component called Windows SideShow, which enables email, calendar information, music, photos, and other entertainment features to be selected and viewed on a secondary device."
