Phones kind of suck for the 'at a glance' function.

Widgets take up too much room on the home screen, so you have to swipe over to it to see it.
once you're there, you're tempted to dive in to look at emails or tweets or whatever else. There's a whole smartphone detox market that's out there, focusing on dumb phones and escaping attention traps.
Not everyone in the house (e.g., kids) should be looking at a phone regularly.
I don't have my phone with me when I'm walking back and forth getting ready. A quick glance is faster than a grab, unlock, swipe, read pattern.

Smart home dashboards also seem like a perfect fit with this. A low power, regular refreshing, touch sensitive controlled? That could hang on a wall with a battery? Sounds great.
