If you’re looking to get yet another "monitor" on your computer, have you considered your WM Smartphone? Microsoft SideShow for Windows Mobile might be your answer. SideShow has a sliding panel view much like the BlackJackII with 6.1 installed. It allows users to view PowerPoint, Widows Media Player, and even check your inbox -- all over Bluetooth. If you're running a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 smart phone and have the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack with the .NET compact Framework it should run smoothly.

The fact I find interesting is that even if your computer is off, you can still get the content that was sent to your smart phone previously. This would work great with music especially if you don’t have to keep turning on your computer to sync.

Update: Check out this nice Screenshot tour too.
