If you want an I2C device to play with check out the Matrix Orbital LCD displays. They're normally driven by RS232 but they do have I2C pins through the power connector. :) The display is very smart and if you throw it characters it'll display them, no silly intercharacter timing or any of that stuff. They're available in multiple sizes, up to 20 char X 4 lines. You can pick these up through linuxcentral.com. Matrix Orbital is very responsive to developer questions and is free-software friendly.
