Title:
  Unity should suggest apps to the user according to his hardware

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A nice feature for unity may be the ability to suggest applications to the user.
  A common case is when the user connect a specific hardware to the system.

  Scenarios:
  1. A user connect a webcam : Suggest using cheese
  2. A user connect a digitizer : Suggest using Gimp/Inkscape and may open a tutorial of how modifying parameters or using the hardware there.
  3. If unity detects a multitouch device, an icon is added (or an existant one animates or blinks) and when clicked/hovered it opens the Software center with applications suggestion.

  This feature needs to detect the user hardware capabilities and suggest according to that.
  It needs also to resolve this Software Center bug:
