* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgTwSXK_5dg Sekai camera] is a recently demoed smartphone app that figures out where your phone is pointing based on GPS + compass, then shows you information about the object/location that other people have tagged. This would be ideal for video googles -- if you're looking at a restaurant and can't decide whether to go in, take a quick look at the Yelp reviews. A similar app is Layar for G1 and soon for 3GS.

* Notifications. My phone aggregates notifications from 8-10 sources. Most of these don't need immediate attention, but I can't tell without spending several seconds pulling out my phone and going to the app which generated the notification. If I would see a synopsis in my shades (e.g., if it's an email, just the sender name) then I can immediately decide if it needs attention or not.
** Mail on iPhone with ScreenSplittr + shades does this, but only for one email account at a time.
