I get that a lot when someone's sitting near my 'puter and the phone rings, and NCID and Festival team up to announce the Caller ID info over the speakers in a timely and customized manner, i.e. "Telephone call from Jenn's cell". And people say that there's no use for modems anymore ... :)

Did I mention that a MythTV box can be a NCID client, and the CID data can be overlaid onto the video stream? Though I've never tried it, I strongly suspect that having that happen might also draw a wow or two.

Plus, I hate squinting at those little screens on phones, don't you? ;)
