Microsoft Pitches Displays for Laptop Lids

Don't know how this slipped through, but it looks like Microsoft is working with laptop vendors to integrate SPOT devices into future laptops to display not only SPOT data, but also provide some information about the status of the laptop's battery, application details, etc. It's a little like the secondary displays that have become so popular on cell phones, although in this case I have little understanding about the amount of time your laptop spends closed where a quick glance would give you valuable info.

I imagine we'll find out soon.
