Mimo Monitors - USB 7 & 10" monitors - A thousand uses

Mimo Monitors - what can you do with it?:

"what can you do with it?
Mimo has thousands of useful and fun applications: keep your main display clutter free, park your Instant Messaging windows, keep your application palettes on it, use it as a digital picture frame, as a dedicated stock ticker display, put your gaming maps on it. Mimo is great for use with a small laptop or netbook because of its light weight and single USB connection, it can travel with your laptop, no power brick needed!"

I've never encountered this type of device. A USB small monitor is a great idea for either the desktop, laptop, or netbook. The more advanced versions have the options of multitouch and an attached webcam.

I wonder how hard it would be to set up an existing device already on the market (tablet, LCD reader, or MID device) to optionally act as an attached monitor when attached to the computer via USB. Instead of paying $139 for the non-touchscreen 7" Mimo I'd like to use a $140 Sylvania tablet with touchscreen capability (with maybe additional options like x-fer to tablet, screen snapshots, etc.)

This would really take off if it was available with a wireless option - Bluetooth most likely, but there may be a tenable wi-fi solution.
