If you check the latest beta of S5 (not org-s5) there is even cooler
feature. You can open a separete window with notes (<div class="notes"/>
how to export a :NOTES: drwer into a div?) and *timers*, so it
is quite comfortable for a real dual head set up.

S5 and other HTML slide show frameworks have (at least) one great
advantage over Beamer, one can embed (there are at least two ways) SVG
image, which is quite hard with LaTeX/Beamer duo (is there any
command-line tool to convert SVG to EPS/PDF?)
