iOS Gurus - does this product exist?

I was just thinking today about how nice it would be to have a magnet, or something stationary in my kitchen that displayed all of my "reminders" that I set up during the day, using the "cloud". I usually use the reminders app on my iPhone to remind myself about things I want to do when I get home or over the weekend, but I could use it for so much more (grocery lists, etc) if I had something that connected to the device in my kitchen (or anywhere else in the house for that matter). That way my girlfriend could see it as I update it in real time and if she goes to the store, she doesn't have to double check with me before going, she can just take the device or write down what is on the device. Does this make sense? There has to be something like this already out there, does anyone know about anything like this? If there isn't, does anyone have the capital around to MAKE a product like this? :-) Thanks so much!

Cool idea. Saw something like this once somewhere, can't remember where, maybe on TUAW? Sent you a direct message.

Nice idea. You should probably submit it to applits! check out this post https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=E5549AFCC3522420F9C4419&tid=E5549AFCC3522420F9C4419 im sure building it on Buzztouch is possible.

That http://www.cozi.com/ solution sounds like exactly what you need. Anyone looked? I use the shared todo list with somebody and it is very straight-forward. It works as an app or a website personally I think the app interface is better. Best of all, it is free!

I think whatever the hardware solution is, it would need to have wifi and a browser. When I read your original post, I was thinking of a cheap android with wifi as the second device. Keep it plugged into its charger and the screen might stay on. I would be interested if you find something!
