even more so if one could do it across a network or maybe usb, as then each device could run its own app and get a central gui to manage them all. bye bye driver issues...

technically whats being discussed here already exists
haven't all the main players (mac/vista/igoogle even hildon etc) now got widgets and things that you can use to mashup your desktop interface in custom ways using data from random sparse sources?

yes,
goto http://www.google.com/ig and customise your own window.
You or I might not have the mojo to design the themes for the apps, but others have.
theres a wide assortment of apps with totally different interfaces which talk to the same data.
all configurable by yourself
for instance: http://www.google.com/ig/directory?q=clock

Well.. we actually have speed dial (shameless plug) for the tablets even though all it does currently is show your last bookmarks.
