Thought just occurred to me, when playing games, working, or otherwise doing something on your primary display, how cool would it be to have secondary information (about your game, email, other types of notifications) to be sent to your Pine? Example, I'm playing a game on my computer, and a notification comes in for friends to join their party in another part of the world. I can look briefly at my pine and hit go since I'm not in an active battle, and then I get transported. Another example, Pine is connected via wifi/bt to my home automation system, and I get an alert that someone's at the door. I hit a button on my Pine to show me the webcam so I can see who it is without interrupting my neptune pine chat browser window and loading another app. Further example, I get off the elevator in my apartment complex, and my Pine logs into my home wifi. I walk in the door, and my Pine connects via bluetooth to my laptop on my table in the kitchen. My computer and home automation system can then welcome me home, turn on the lights, and turn my xbox/tv on. Thoughts about this idea? I know some of this requires "presence"

I believe there are apps that do this. I know one app off the top of my head that allows me to use my iPhone as a secondary display for my Macbook, so I am sure there can be an Android app that can be run on the Pine, however the small size will limit its usability.

I'm sure we can set that up... there must be similar android programs for devices to interact with other displays.
