So, Microsoft SmartGlass...
For those who aren't familiar with Smart Glass:

I can't help but hope that Turn 10 uses this technology for some sort of addon for Forza. I'm thinking something along the lines of the rFactor Apps that are out there for Android:

Also stat tracking and the like would be awesome additions.
Any thoughts?

I know it's already available on the screen, but I thought it would be nice, that if we could have that info on our phones/tablets, then we could turn off all those things on the screen. Just upping the realism a little notch.

Lots of hacking potential as long as they don't lock it down to high hell, which they probably will. Most likely there will be certificates between the two, spoiling all of the fun.
Nevermind having stuff on your phone. If you can get at the traffic you can connect with all manner of hardware/software.
I wouldnt hold my breath for such an addon. The control seems to be one-way, ie the tablet/phone is controlling the xbox. Like basher said, there would be lots of hacking potential, and you can bet the farm that M$ is going to keep this tech tight.
how about tuning on the fly, or going to lean on the fuel etc. a lot of possabilitys for forza 5 or any other racing games for the new console next year
