Extend Windows Desktop to your Pocket PC

Ok, so maybe it was just a wild dream but, I thought I saw an article about a program that allows you to use your Pocket PC as an extension of your Windows XP desktop. You can drag windows over to it and let them run with their display on the Pocket PC. It's like having 2 monitors but the secondary is your Pocket PC.
I though sure I'd seen this in the last year but can't find anything in a search. Does anyone know anything about this. Am I dreaming/crazy/fill in blank? I believe it required .net.
Thanks,
Bill B

There is a program called MaxiVista, that works from PC to Laptop. This essentially allows you to use an old laptop (common in IT departments like mine) to extend your screen space. You end up with one pc spread across two screens. Pretty neat software, I have tried the demo, works great.
I have yet to see anything like this for Pocket PC. Seems it would be very tricky from an engineering perspective.
My question is, why would you need/want this?
Good luck...

The closest thing that comes to mind for me is Pocket Controller. Crazy? No, not yet anyway, but I'd watch it.

I saw this http://palmorb.sourceforge.net/ and thought it would be fun to have my pocket pc show album covers or something while it's docked at work.
Is anyone listening? This could be cool. My cellmate (cubicle mate) would be jealous, and I'd pay for it. 8-)
