Like perhaps an LCD display giving you some sort of menu system and status
display [MP3 track info]....?  Music to shower by, music to relax by, music
to dump to....

Also with a menu system, you could do things like divert all calls to
voicemail - mind you could do this as part of your macro button - but
you've
only got so many buttons to play with.

The technology part is fairly easy - making it look good (and hence getting
SWMBO approval) seems to be the most difficult part!  Now if you could find
someone to engrave the legends on your plate....
