The most primal widget is the info widget, be it in Mobiles, the desktop or the regular web. SideShow falls into that category. Sideshow is a function to get info from a computer remotely or while it is turned off if you count with a SideShow display. but it also exists for Windows Mobile and it turns your WM device into a SideShow display where you can get info from a PC as info widgets.
While most of them are indeed info widgets to check your calendar and desktop mail, etc, there is also remote playing of music and remote viewing of powerpoint slides. with video and more office support to come later.
This Technology is only for Vista, so if you are on Vista and got a Windows Mobile device is worth checking it out.
