Ok i have completely messed up trying to manage mailing lists in
Gmail. Ive sent this to the wrong place twice, third time's the charm:
I like the idea of if you're watching something on TV you can,
providing they are using the same account, continue watching what you
were watching on you're tablet, phone or laptop. That would be really
handy if you had to go out or do something.
Joshua Topolsky wrote an editorial on Engadget about similiar
behaviour, he called it the 'continous client', it is really worth a
read and is incredibly relevant
- http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/a-modest-proposal-the-continuous-client/.
The Trillian IM app implemented this and it was great, you could be
having a conversation on a mac and then when you pick up your mobile,
further messages are delivered there instead and you can continue your
convo seemlessly on the go.
This kind of behaviour between TV's, Phones, Tablets, Laptops& Cars
would be amazing, and a fantastic selling point.

Interesting…
I think enabling the phone as smart remote to TV is a baseline
requirement. That's something to start thinking about already
today.
The collaborative, multi-device, shared screen scenario is
more ambitious, but if we come up with a number of compelling
scenarios (Novacut example is a good start) we can to build
understanding around the subject.
There are some interesting multi-screen entertainment
scenarios as well. E.g. Live football match on TV, phone as
remote, and tablet as secondary channel to display scores /
live tables. There are many more, I'm sure.

smartphones and tablets, one thing that strikes me is that
traditionally TVs have traditionally struggled to accept
inputs that don't fit into either preset functions on the
remote/controller or the equivalent of arrow keys + Select.
(Think of all the interfaces on set top boxes that require
the user to enter text via an onscreen keyboard that can only
be navigated via arrow keys.)

via this standard remote system, I think we can leverage
Ubuntu on smartphones and tablets to provide a much richer
input system. By allowing smartphones and tablets to control
the television, we could open up Ubuntu TVs for a wide range
of collaborative activities.
> So you would have each of your group's tablets connect to
the TV, start up the application you want to work with, and
begin working together. This could work differently depending
on the use case. Either everyone could be working/playing
together on the big screen, or individuals could work with a
network enabled application on their own tablet and then share
their progress directly on the TV with the others as they each
made their own adjustments.
> In the case of a video editing project, say Novacut, each
user would be cutting a given scene, doing color correction,
etc on their own Ubuntu tablet, with the TV as a shared screen
for showing progress, getting feedback from the rest of the
group, and keeping tabs on the state of the edit as a whole.

benefit from having a shared screen interfaced with many tiny
ones, especially ones where people are trying to create and
remix as a group as well as facilitating social games.
