I'd use it as an info center that hangs on the wall in a common area. We use tablets for something like this in our home. They're powered by android, so the home screen widgets show live feeds of our security cameras, family calendar, weather, music control and lots of other useful information. All the other apps are right there too (contacts, google now, maps, games, skype, voicemail, etc...). We have some home controls built in too (sprinklers, lights, garages, heating/cooling, etc...).
