Is it possible to use my windows mobile device as a secondary monitor in windows Vista?

No. I think there's apps you can run on them that talk to your PC to put information on there, but you won't be dragging a window onto them any time soon.

I'm sure I've seen articles in the past explaining how you can make it work, but I can't find anything any more. I really can't believe no one has developed anything to make this possible, seems like a bit of a no brainier to me

Really? I'm finding it hard to think of a scenario where it'd be useful

I really want so I can watch movies/TV whilst playing games.

On such a small display?

Yup, why not?

Surely downscaling a high res video onto a small display would make it look very nasty?

Nope, it works fine when I play DIVX movies on the device.
