suddenly web browsing will be a snap on a big TV screen for the first time ever. so let’s start with every browser app getting a big boost.

For example, Rdio can send a notification about the name of the next song playing, or Flickr can send a notification that a photo has finished uploading. Because these notifications are unobtrusive, you won’t mind seeing them when they happen then disappear afterwards.

What I do hope about the APIs in the SDK is that developers will be able to send notifications that do NOT appear in Notification Center. The reason this is important is you don’t want to develop clutter when you’ve gone away from your phone for a day and have 50 messages to look at.
