A low cost Arduino shield with this display, controller and backlight http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10168 and some buttons would be awesome! I have been using the display for a while now and it is relatively easy to use (even without using the library) and very cheap.
it would serve as a low cost low power easy to use alternative to the color lcd shield: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9363
it could be used for endless things, a uno and this (still non existant) shield would be all you need for a nice little clock, usb enabled display to show stats about your computer/server, quickly and easily displaying lots of sensor data in a breadboard setup...
i imagine this can be sold for way less than 30 dollars and become very popular with all kinds of people. if it ever becomes a reality i'm willing to write a library for it in my spare time.
