Building on your later point that devices should just Work Together... I'm
working on my laptop at the moment, which is on (gasp!) a table. It would be
*amazing* if that tabletop could become an extension of my computer's
virtual desktop.

I already have two screens on the go: the laptop's and an external 20"
widescreen. But the prospect of my whole desk surface being available has me
almost drooling. Now pair that with recognizing my cellphone (on the desk
beside me), my iPod (also on the desk), and we're rockin'.

And once a week a virtual hose would spray towards my potted plants sitting
on the table, reminding me to water the poor things.
