Additional user interfaces

Hi,

Currently I'm exploring new ways of creating user interfaces for my system. This time not the "one screen does it all" approach, but more locally oriented (controlling stuff nearby).
Today a 2.8" TFT LCD with touchscreen arrived; it's one of those things you can easily attach to an Arduino.
What I want to accomplish is to create some sort of User Interface on these Touch LCD's and have a few of them scattered througout the house at strategic places.
This evening I did some tests with the first LCD that arrived and I actually like it so far:

I bought it here: http://www.antratek.nl/Shields.html
But actually it's from Seeed Studio: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/28-tft ... th=132_134
And you need an Arduino or comparable.
