Anyone hear of the REDFLY?  It’s the mobile netbook-like device that lets you connect your Windows Mobile phone and have access to a huge screen, mouse pad, and full keyboard.  Trouble is, the REDFLY costs $200-$300, and not many people see enough utility in the REDFLY to warrant spending that kind of money.

Good news though – Celio (maker of the REDFLY) has come out with a free emulation tool (that expires in 60 days) that lets you use your Shadow on your computer, meaning, you can use your keyboard, mouse, plus scale the display up to an insane 800×600.  This really makes emailing and texting a breeze.

To get started, click onto the Celio website.  Grab both the Mobile Viewer (for your computer) and the Phone Drivers for Windows Mobile 6 non-Touchscreen devices.  Then, install the CAB on your Shadow, run the EXE on your computer. If you want to see a video of it in action, hit the jump.

We shot the above video on pocketnow.com, showing the REDFLY Mobile Viewer being used with an HTC Touch Pro.
