A second screen, touch enabled or not, would provide a lot of functionality that would make video game platforms much more useful for games with hidden information. If they had any "on the go" functionality that would work with Ap-style gaming (Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies) then it it would be yet another way to open up a new style of gaming to a previously unrecognized audience.
I don't know if the in-controller screen is going to be reality or not, but I hope so and I look forward to seeing what evolves out of it.
Heck it'd be cool if Microsoft created a controller that allowed players to attach their windows phone 7 for an additional screen. That way people wouldn't be required to buy an extra expensive controller, but they could have access to advanced utilities and interfaces.
