DisplayCabinet: connecting data to our environments

Displaycabinet
Your house keys become an overview for your home. Energy consumed, current cost of energy per day, broadband allowance used and simple weather. It also serves as the screen that displays any scheduled alerts or important information relating to other items on the shelf.

My head is spinning with how cool this would be both inside and outside the home. It also seems more tied into the way people already interact with their environments than Nokia's vision.
