Uses for an old Touch Pro

My old Alltel Touch Pro is soon to be replaced by a new phone. It's a piece of crap, but still works. The keyboard has completely stopped working and it does that damn constant screen rotation thing now. I am going to disable the screen rotation and possibly fix the keyboard by opening the phone up once I have my new phone.

So, what would be a good use for an old deactivated Touch Pro?

Media Player? If so, what is a good software that would be good for that, finger friendly and easy to use while in the car.

Wasn't there some software at one time where you could make a Windows PPC into a secondary monitor on your PC and display things on it?

Post up your ideas if you have some, thanks!

Probably the best idea. Karma is always good to have on your side.
